Soliel said... I learned a lot from your waistband instructions. Does the top stitching have a function or is it simply to make your skirt look more professional? I like it, it definitely does not look homemade. 2/10/07 10:21 PM
Sew4Fun said... Soliel, the coverstitching ensures the waist seam stays in place (folded down) and also makes it flatter. 2/10/07 10:35 PM

hongkongshopper said... Thanks for a great review Belinda. The skirt is lovely. So, no elastic in the waistband at all? 2/11/07 2:09 AM
Sew4Fun said... HKS, none! The fabric has a lot of lycra, so the skirt stays up on it's own. 2/11/07 3:03 AM

Harriet Rogers said... Wonderful review: I feel as if I've had a good sewing lesson. Skirt is beautiful: would love to see on you, Belinda. You mentioned the Brother cover stitch machine: what model do you own, and are you happy with it? I'm constantly at odds with myself about whether I "need" a CS machine, so any imput would be appreciated. Thanks again for great review. 2/12/07 10:37 AM
Sew4Fun said... Harriet, I've had my CS machine for over 3 years now and I still love it as much today as I did when I bought it. I reviewed my machine shortly after buying it. Click on my profile and look under sewing machine reviews. 2/13/07 5:32 AM
