WIP: McCall's M7014 Jumper Joining Day

今日は、オットが車を買うというので州都まで行ってきました。
気軽に日帰りできる距離とは言え、さすがに180キロ行って、お昼ごはんをはさんですぐまた180キロ帰ってくるのは膝にこたえる。
その上、州都には何度も行ってるけど、今日は初めて自分で運転して帰ってきました(オットは買った車運転して帰らないといけないからね)。やっぱり大都市の運転は緊張するわ。

ジャンパースカートの続きに取り掛かりました。
この前、首のスリットの処理方法がわからなくて適当にバイアステープをつけてみたけど、よく考えてみたら裏をつけるんだからスリットの処理なんてしなくてよかったのよ。
裏つけて首周りをぐるっと縫ってひっくり返せばいいだけだったのよ。
あとは腕ぐりと裾の始末をしたら完成。
Understitched but not top-stitched yet
The lining is attached at the neck for my jumper dress.

So, the other day, I added a bias tape for the neck slit because I did not know how to finish it and I was so confused because there was no instruction how to finish it.

When I was about to attach the lining, I realized how stupid I was to finish the slit when all I had to do was to attach the lining with right sides together and turn right side out. What was I thinking?

The lining is now attached a the neck. Although it is understitched, the lining was still peeking out so I top-stitched it down as well.

The rest is armhole and the hem so I may be able to finish this tomorrow. Because I had to move the shoulder inward after cutting the fabric, I don't have enough fabric for any seam allowance around the armhole. So I am thinking I will finish the armhole with the same black bias binding I used for the "piping."
