I am starting a sewing linky party today called Sew & Tell Saturday at my website and I am hoping to get some vintage sewists aboard to post their projects because there aren't any sewing linky parties to show off vintage creations. I hope you can come over and post a link to your blog today!

I just used a robust needle as it got quite bulky sewing around the collar and facings. I used my normal machine, as my overlocker is still (ahem) in its box....!<br />Karen, surely you didn't think I chose the colour of my snood at random? I wanted it to match my lining all along (seriously)! xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-86102382898990580852011-11-11T21:34:58.420+00:002011-11-11T21:34:58.420+00:00Wow, that's a tricky project you've tackle...Wow, that's a tricky project you've tackled there, and it looks awesome.
