So yeah, if only it could have been antique French ric rac in a nice shade of grey :)Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-86188961754693416312018-12-16T23:03:29.872+11:002018-12-16T23:03:29.872+11:00ha ha, thanks.

It completely baffled me all over again how to sew those jolly armholes. The finish is so perfectly clean and neat inside and out without any facing, but it's a real brainteaser of which way to fold and how many times.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-51285772257952507392018-12-16T22:53:18.939+11:002018-12-16T22:53:18.939+11:00I know, it would seem I lost my mind, right?!

It was fun to sew simple, cotton things, so the ric rac slipped in when I was blissfully distracted.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-12457072170368743082018-12-13T08:53:15.140+11:002018-12-13T08:53:15.140+11:00I love the ric rac!!
