The end of the Christmas sewing is in sight. It would be finished if I didn't keep having ideas and adding to the list. We are in the middle of a heat wave and everyone needs cool clothes so I am making voile jumpsuits for all the girls. There has been lots and lots of shirring this morning.
And I have made a lot of ties for the shoulders so that is a lot of little bits of fabric to turn inside out. Usually I do this with my fingers and use hemostats to make it a bit easier. When Kerry sent me a copy of her book to review she also sent heaps of wonderful things from Dritz including a pack of quick turns. I love them! I can turn a strap in seconds. I have to admit I would probably never picked up a pack of these in the shop, but now I could not imagine owning them.
Enough sewing I think, time to take everyone to the pool to cool down.
I love your voile jumpsuits. Am thinking I need to get myself some of those quick turns.....
ReplyDeleteI love those turning tubes. I've also heard of McDonald straws with kebab sticks for teeny tiny stuff and then you have to try this super-sized version for bag handles ~
