Wednesday October 26

All the dresses are finished, except for the zips, which someone else gets to do!
So I have been doing trousers for the pi-rats (its panto, remember).  These are basic black jazz pants with a certain amount chopped off the bottom, depending on the length of the rat's legs.  A four inch section is then cut off and used as a facing, which is stitched in random zig zags to make it look ragged.  Once stitched all the excess is trimmed off, corners clipped, turned through and pressed, before stitching round with a zig zag stitch to hold the facing in place.  Nine out of sixteen pairs done so far...
