Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 36
I am moving on to Strengthening the Flap.
Flap
I have quite a large Flap to Strength. I am not sure if I have enough Material.
Green Material
I have found the Green Material and I measured it against the Flap. As I suspect when allowing for Hemming it may not be enough. I am going to have to divide into sections.
Green Pinked
I have Hemmed all the way around the Material. However, I find that it Frays quite Badly. I have had to find my Pinking Scissors to do the edge.
Needle Ends
Hm. I think that by turning the Material around that I now have too much. It is not easy the way the Wool keeps Stretching. I have decided to Sew using a Tacking Stitch. I am going to do this using a Needle from both Ends.
This way I can Judge how much Wool to Material there is and make adjustments accordingly. Otherwise, I might end up with a big Bunch at one end.
Top Attached
Green Pleat
I have now Sewn the Top and both Sides with a Tacking Stitch. It has helped stop some of the rolling. However, there is definitely too much Material.
I am solving this by adding a couple of Pleats. I am not going to Sew these in place yet. Nor am I going to Sew across the Bottom.
