 Cooper Concoctions 2021 Part 2

I have now Unpicked all the Seams and can start working on making something out of the Material

Cooper Rebutton

 

I was outside whilst I was making this and the wind was picking up. I decided to Rebutton the material so one half didn’t blow away.

Resew Below Buttons

 

Next I decided to Sew Below the Buttons but not quite to the Bottom. You might wonder why I bothered to Unpick it in the first place if I was only going to Resew.

The reason is simple. Until I have Unpicked the Material I cannot always tell what pieces are real and what are false. I also needed to know how they joined together.

Cooper Bottom Pinned

 I have now Pinned the section I want to Hem at the Bottom of the material. I have also trimmed the loose material on the Pocket. The Pocket itself had to be removed as there was a hole in it that wasn’t worth trying to mend.

Pin and Hem

 

I Hemmed the Bottom of the Material then Pinned the Sides.

Hemmed Edge

 

I had to mend the Tear in the material that I made whilst Unpicking. So I had to make sure that I included that in the Hem.

Secure Pocket

 

Continuing Hemming up the side I came to the Pocket. I had to Secure the Opening by Sewing along the Curve. 

Hem Side

I am not quite sure how I have done this but I seemed to have reversed the photograph. In this one I have Hemmed the Side and Secured the Pocket.

However because of the way it was originally made this gives a very small Pocket that is still usable.
