I managed to spend some quality time with my sewing machines on Saturday at my ASG Group, working on 2 UFO’s that have been staring at me for a while now.
The first is another version of KS 3740, I love this pattern and when I purchased this fabric this was the pattern I had in mind for it.
This top was cut out and sewn back in May, but when I tried it on to find the hem length, I noticed the sleeves were twisted, so it has been languishing on my sewing table waiting for me to unpick the 4-thread overlocking I had used to sew the sleeves in.
So on Saturday the sleeves were re-sewn, and the hems levelled and coverstitched in place.
Now to add the finishing touches to my cardigan, back soon!

There's something very rewarding about unpicking overlocked stitching and then successfully resewing! This top looks very professional – beautiful fabric choice.

Love the bright colours of the fabric. I have found recently that just getting on and finishing the 'horrible' sewing jobs gives me a super boost of motivation. Well done (as usual).

I love the top! Funny how we do that isn't it – leave something when it is almost finished because it reqires unpicking. Hate that part!

Lovely blouse Sharon! Can you or another tell me-how do sleeves get twisted when sewing? What do you mean by that?

That is a very cute top, Sharon! It's a little hard to see what is going on with the neckline, but it's very cute!
