And then sewed the V-neckband piece and attached it to the neckline. I sewed around the neckline with a sewing machine first and covered the raw edge using an overlocker machine. And top-stitched the neckline 0.25 cm using a sewing machine. ...

Make A Garment A Month - January Plan

Hello and happy Friday to you all...
Here is an update of my January sewing plan for MAGAM Challenge, I will be making a cape based on Burdastyle - Double Breasted Cape 08/2012.

source from burdastyle.com
Below picture is my fabrics and materials for the cape - 2.5 yards of brushed wool in orange color, 2 yards of polka dots silk satin for lining, 7 buttons and almost same color of thread. All of them are from my stash.


Actually, I traced the pattern and pre-treated the fabrics yesterday. So, I will try my best to finish the cape by the end of the month.
Happy sewing!
