I'm always a bit behind on my sewing scheduale =) Have fun on the lindy event!<br /><br />Mrs J, we'll have to dress to match some lindy live =) Although, I find myself putting off cutting into the silk... Maybe in June, when I'll have more spare-time for all the handsewing necessary. Yes, def later... ; )Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762815696807107905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763742607856930710.post-17406265177936647972012-05-09T10:31:18.074+02:002012-05-09T10:31:18.074+02:00Haha, we'll look great together!

For example there's a lindy exchange going on locally in June....I'm already sewing the outfits I want to wear now, so they get finished with time to spare.M'ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697943030492173302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763742607856930710.post-73277890061224430992012-04-28T14:29:26.622+02:002012-04-28T14:29:26.622+02:00Lady D; I'm impressed that you handsew all you...Lady D; I'm impressed that you handsew all your things! I've never tried sewing jersey by hand, but I'd suppose one whould need to use a stitch that stretches... I'm 100% guessing here, but maybe if one crocheted the pieces together (with 1 strand embroidery thread), like the pieces of a knitted sweater being sewn together? Haven't tried this myself, just a wild theory!<br /><br />How great that your mom got you hooked on lindy like that! I think it's quite common for kids to take up different dances from what their dancing parents. Maybe it's easier to be a novice in one's "own dance"? =)<br /><br />Kitten; det är verkligen kul att jag o mamma har så lätt att umgås! Det är så enkelt när man möts på olika plan =) Tackar! Lol, har sett en hel del rynkningar på toppar inför våren, så för en gångs skull kanske jag är "rätt" i tiden =)<br /><br />Anna; Tackar! Kan bara hålla med, är nästan så jag drar mig lite för att klippa i det... Samtidigt vill jag ju verkligen ha ett färdigt plagg i det, så nervositeten kommer slås ner! =)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762815696807107905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763742607856930710.post-7255244355273248712012-04-25T19:50:41.960+02:002012-04-25T19:50:41.960+02:00Det där italienska sidenet är underbart!Det där italienska sidenet är underbart!Anna | Mormor hade stilhttp://www.mormorhadestil.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763742607856930710.post-70150352509470503522012-04-25T19:39:00.288+02:002012-04-25T19:39:00.288+02:00Härligt att du och dina mamma har samma intressen ...Härligt att du och dina mamma har samma intressen :) Toppen ser inte alls dum ut dock, är det inte på modet med lite rynkningar runt halshålet dessutom?!Kitten von Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763021466482417882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763742607856930710.post-83414074095606903342012-04-25T10:53:23.197+02:002012-04-25T10:53:23.197+02:00I'm a little daunted by jersey.

As I mainly handsew (was taught as a kid too so not allowed to use the machine...so never learned to be comfortable using one) and my machine is only very basic (can't change the feet) I am struggling to find instructions on hand sewing jersey it all seems to involve machines and special feet or surgers. At the moment I go through cheap plain jersey tops quite quickly (cheap for a reason) so it would be useful to be able to master it.<br /><br />My mum does ballroom dancing, and took me along to my first lindy lesson as she was just trying it out as just another dance to learn (and thought I'd like it as you don't need to come with a partner). Now I love lindy hop as much as she loves ballroom sequence. lol! And she'll 'lead' for me when I practice at home so I get a chance to work through steps I'm not sure on at my pace.M'ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697943030492173302noreply@blogger.com
