My dream for today was to occupy my morning sewing a fancy new skirt for myself while sipping tea and listening to the radio. Maybe squeeze in a call to my sister to report all of my spare time and peace & quiet. Sounds good right? It was! I was on track to wear my fancy skirt to my weekly visit at Len's house (Francis' Grandpa), when I did something that made me feel fifteen again. Young, stupid, and all for the wrong reasons. As a adult I always hoped that to feel young again would be for something exciting and fun! But the sad point is this; I sewed my pocket openings together.
So instead of posting a picture of said skirt, I have killer dinner nachos! Because why not nachos and rice beer for dinner?
I did however learn a technique to make a tiny hem! Very neat and pretty small.
First you fold and press.
Then sew very closely to the edge.
Trim the excess off carefully (as close to the stitching as possible).
Then press again folding the edge inward, on top of itself.
Then topstitch!
That simple!
OOh, so pretty and so tiny!
