I'm in awe! Thanks for the tips about the pockets - I've always wondered how that is done when there is no topstitching.

The buttonholes are miniature works of art.<br />I'm a bit dim, so could you please one day explain that pocket technique a bit more fully? Is the whole pocket handstitched in place, or just the remaining two edges after the first is stitched down to the lining?<br />The latest threads magazine had a tutorial also explaining how to machine-sew a curved bottomed patch pocket in place, with out any topstitching. It was pretty clever too; involving lots of basting so the pocket was perfectly in position, and then machine-stitching "inside" the pocket and very slowly and carefully around the curves in the corners.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098393915488355682.post-41013009637455606752011-06-13T16:18:26.485-07:002011-06-13T16:18:26.485-07:00Gail, you are doing an amazing job with this.
