 Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 16

Why are there so many blogs on this project you might ask? The answer is very simple. It is because I keep making mistakes! This blog is no different.

Draw Around Template

 

Now I have my Template I can draw around it to make the others albeit they will be slightly longer.

Hem Clanger

 

Oh for heaven’s sake I have dropped another Clanger. This is kids play stuff! When I drew my around my Template I did it right from the edge rather than allowing for a Hem.

Before I start my Second Template I Folded the Material over and give enough room to make a Hem. I wrote it on to make sure that I didn’t forget.

Match Hems

 

I Matched the Hems on the Second piece of Material and Pinned the Hem. I then Sewed across.

There wasn’t much I could do with the First piece as I had already Trimmed it. Therefore I did the Smallest Hem I could get away with.

3 Different Hems

 

One Templet 3 Different Hems. Not a good start. I will need a fourth one but I will have to find some more Material for that. Also as I have not finished Knitting the Strap I do not know yet how long it will need to be.
