裁縫室をほとんど荷造りした後で、ミシンはあるものの、椅子がない状態でミシン掛けしました。幸い私のミシンは足ふみペダルを使わなくてもスタートとストップボタンがあるのでひざまずいてミシンかけ。
裾は、スモッキングしたウェスト部分と合わせて、赤い糸でミシンについてる小花柄刺繍ステッチで縫ってみました。
旅行前に完成してよかったです。
Since I was so busy packing, I could not get back to my apron hemming until 2 days before we were to leave for Europe. By then, my sewing room was all disassembled and supplies packed, and I had to use my sewing machine without a chair. Good that my machine had start/stop button.
For hemming, I decided to just fold up the hem once (since the hem was on the selvage edge because I used cross grain as my grain line) and use small flower embroidery stitch on my machine and sew it from the right side. To match my smocking at the waist, I used red thread. In the middle of the hemming, I ran out of my top thread, and used a slightly different shade of red for about 1/3 of the hem. Nobody will look at my hem that close to notice it.
I started this dirndl process way back in June when we weren't even thinking about selling our house, thinking once I was done with one set, I could make a dressier version. Well, I barely finished one set in 3 months, but I am so happy with it and enjoyed making it very much.
