Why I allways notice a need for new garb right before an event?
Let's make an under dress or a shirt to my Eura Garb. I had just replaced all of our old bed linen with new ones, and so I had a lot of off-white cotton material. This took 1 1/4 bed sheets, that's about 3,1 meters of fabric. The pattern is clever and uses all of the matherial, leaving no leftover pieces. I made use of my needle and finished this one in just two days. I'm very proud of myself. 11 meters of seam. Damn I'm fast!
The neck is very wide, but not from side to side. Instead it is wide from front to back, making it very practical for breast feeding. Not that I need that practicality anymore.
Two of the six long seams, the middle seams of the gores, are bag seams.
The other seams are pictured above. I have no idea what is the name of this seam type. (EDIT: The name is felled seam.)As you can see, I could cut the fabric in a way that left me no edges to be hemmed. Sweet.
Now I'm off to bed. I'm leaving to that event in the morning, and it is already 1:17 am.
The old bed linen is thicker than normal, because I made them myself years ago from cheap unbleached cotton. Since my husband is very tall, our bed is longer than normal and we needed extra-long sheets for it.
