Stitches | October

These are my sewing projects from October.

I did some hemming and a few repairs.

I hemmed a couple more of the new skirts that I got for my daughter. She wanted one to be extra long. They were brand new, with tags, LullaRoe skirts that I found at the thrift store. I added an elastic to the waist bands. The material was high quality. I was surprised by that because I had seen someone trash talking LullaRoe on YouTube.

Anyway, the directions for care said,"Hang dry or you'll be sorry." What does that mean? I accidentally did put one through the dryer and I wasn't sorry. I didn't melt or shrink or anything.

This next project was a repair. My daughter wore this new dress for one single day and ripped part of the ruffle off. I fixed it, but told her to wear it only to church and keep it nice for a while.

I finished the patches on my son's overalls.

Lastly, I did a hemming job for hire on these Levi's.

I used a binding tape to finish the raw edge. Doing it this way reduced the bulk and made it easier to sew.
