I used a regular machine AND an overlocker on this top. The shoulder seams and arm/side seams were done with the overlocker and the neckline was a zigzag stitch on the regular machine. The main hem and sleeve hems were also on a regular machine with a twin needle. You could EASILY make the whole thing on a regular machine with a stretch stitch or zigzag. Good luck! xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-78173040128706201492014-02-20T15:18:54.063+00:002014-02-20T15:18:54.063+00:00Hi Jane -- I'm a beginner sewist and am enjoyi...Hi Jane -- I'm a beginner sewist and am enjoying following your blog. Your projects really inspire me but I'm still intimidated to consider dressmaking for myself! I'll get there though! My next project is to learn to sew with knits (looking forward to Tilly's upcoming tutorials). Your Coco looks great! Did you use a regular sewing machine or a serger? I notice the top-stitching looks like a zigzag. I have a sewing machine that has a couple of stretch-stitches and accommodates a twin needle. I'm just researching my different options and was curious about your process.Fritsche Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459316608066469255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-1576588701203417832014-02-20T15:10:47.939+00:002014-02-20T15:10:47.939+00:00It definitely looks like a wardrobe staple.
