You don't need to pass the other tie through a slit because it's the one on the outside. You then wrap both ties around front and tie in the back.<br /><br />Gertie, I jus caught up on the sew along. I should be posting pics of my finished dress today (or tomorrow if I can get the boy to help me with a photo shoot). I'm not sure how I should have made the edges of the waist seam look nice. At the armhole flipping the facing up while sewing the side seam took care of that, but it didn't seem to be the appropriate solution here. I ended up folding the bias binding around the side. Was that the right solution?Gaidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137796009019992269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-11098379018844368602011-02-21T22:49:03.311-05:002011-02-21T22:49:03.311-05:00Love it!

Garments come to life on a person.<br /><br />Here's an idea... maybe you can create a sew-along "index" based on a picture with you in the finished dress, where you point with an arrow to the finished pocket and link to the tutorial post about pockets, point the the skirt seam and link to the french seams tutorial, point to the bust dart and link to posts about bust fit and dart placement, etc. What a fun way to round out the whole sew-along experience.<br /><br />Thanks for all the work you put into this for your readers. You give us the skills and confidence to sew!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513379876617697615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-58431875690784096062011-02-15T21:57:53.857-05:002011-02-15T21:57:53.857-05:00Would it work to finish the waist seam using a fre...Would it work to finish the waist seam using a french seam?Nicole Rundehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250126221653849434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-54286379180560793692011-02-13T23:33:33.934-05:002011-02-13T23:33:33.934-05:00Your dress is really pretty.

I have a question about the seam finishes. The french seam and the zigzag/trim method don't allow the seam to be pressed "open". RTW clothes have seams that are finished closed, but pressing seams open looks so much better from the front side -- or am I doing it wrong? Can you elaborate here? Also, why press seams open on the bodice and not on the skirt? What is the rationale? Thank you for your efforts. I'm looking forward to seeing your dress on!Lizzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-73010780100184541842011-02-10T15:15:46.234-05:002011-02-10T15:15:46.234-05:00Your dress turned out gorgeous, as all of them do!...Your dress turned out gorgeous, as all of them do! Can't wait to see it on you!<br />I have a couple of questions (sorry): By enclosing the waist seam in binding are you not adding a lot of bulk poking on your waist/belly? (don't know if that makes sense). Maybe with a cotton lawn it's fine but for a medium weight cotton it might be too much?Second question:I got seam binding instead of bias binding. Shall I just use it the same way? Folding and sewing? <br /><br />I confess I'm a bit rubbish with bias bindings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054640961472954823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-8452738635736421032011-02-10T14:53:08.103-05:002011-02-10T14:53:08.103-05:00Great tutorial and just in time to figure out how ...Great tutorial and just in time to figure out how to add pockets to your father's lounge pants!kazoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07624651180112508047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-67934844226664850342011-02-10T14:42:51.572-05:002011-02-10T14:42:51.572-05:00Gertie, I have been reading your posts off and on ...Gertie, I have been reading your posts off and on for around a year and a half. I am not a sewer, I am a knitter. You have inspired me to learn to sew. I have bought my first machine (i'm 37yrs old) and the dress pattern and will be going back in time to follow along with your Crepe Sew-Along.

Maybe it's just me, but I always have uneven hems on my newly-finished skirts and dresses. Plus I need special hemming anyway, because my hips are wide (so the skirt's longer in front and back) and uneven (shorter on the right than the left). Currently, all I can do is let it hang for a day or two, then plead with my mother to use a big ruler and laboriously measure from the ground and mark every few inches. I have one of those chalk hem markers, but haven't practiced much or had a lot of success the few times I've used it. I'd LOVE some advice or tips on hemming!<br /><br />~ nuranar on LiveJournal (OpenID always gives me errors)nuranarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-46571966924262569102011-02-10T09:39:12.047-05:002011-02-10T09:39:12.047-05:00It looks great.
