Bookworm's Musings

Why are gas prices so high? Here's one reason.

And the muslin waistband is done. Just the hem left to go, which I'll do tomorrow, in order to get some practice with the blind hemming foot on my machine. The waistband was pretty easy, although if I had done it the way the pattern suggested, it would have been much more difficult. The pattern said to iron down the fabric for the casing, measure out the proper amount of elastic, sew the elastic ends together, lay the elastic ring in the grove of the casing, and sew the casing all the way around, stretching as necessary. That sounded really awkward to me, so I sewed the casing closed first, leaving a 3 1/2" gap, and then threaded the elastic in, sewed the elastic ends together, and sewed the gap closed. It worked quite well, but given how touchy sewing that gap closed was, I don't even want to think about how frustrating it would have been to do it their way!
