Lots of Hand Sewing

So, my B4659 pink shirt is requiring a lot of hand sewing the past few nights. I have been slipstitching the front facings to the princess seams and shoulder seams. Also hand sewing the back facing to the back seam. It is time-consuming, but in the end I am getting a nicely finished shirt on the inside. Oh, I also had to spend some time slipstitching the inside of my sleeve cuffs

I have also used my serger to finish the side seams. I stitched the side seams with my sewing machine and then went back and serged each seam edge to give it a finished look.



Tonight, I will tackle inserting and sewing the sleeves into my shirt. After that, hem the shirt and sew the buttonholes and buttons.


Happy Friday!

Hand sewing may slow you down, but is always worth the time, in my opinion. This is going to be beautiful.
