I'm glad you understitched the neckline too 😊

[@pearlinejones9693]

I like that you baste your sleeves in. I think I’ll just take my time sewing by basting difficult areas to be sure they fit perfectly. Mom taught me that and I got away from it years ago. Have had to seam rip and resew. Your video reminds me that I have this option. ❤

[@lynetterene]

I agree

[@thedocishaute]

Thank you! It definitely takes more time, but I love the control/precision it gives you.

I love sewing but I’m a lazy sewist 😢. I need to take time for these basic fundamentals like baste stitches.

[@thedocishaute]

I understand. 💕

[@lynetterene]

Woohoo!!!! A sew a long.....thank you sweetie I'm excited 🎉

[@eduardachi2571]

I just found you i love how u teach ❤

[@thedocishaute]

Thank you!

[@pjacksreads536]

Thanks for the sew a long. I have this pattern pulled already. Your fabric choice is beautiful. I was thinking I needed something thicker like the picture. But I love how yours turned out.

[@thedocishaute]

Awesome! I’m sure yours will turn out amazing. 🤩

[@brendaweaver6326]

Excellent presentation Doc
Do sew on or under the basting stitch on the neck fasting? Thank you for so many tips!
I see you stitch along the basting

[@thedocishaute]

Thank you! You can stitch close to the basting if you want. Sometimes I stitch along the basting, but my hand basting stitches are so long and loose that they are easy to remove.

@@thedocishaute thank you

[@lynetterene]

Oh what pretty fabric

[@lynetterene]

I'm just commenting as I watch - you used knit interfacing right?

[@thedocishaute]

I only had regular interfacing, but since the neckline is so large I made it work. 🤫 😂
