And there was a request for another bias cut slip just like the other one made earlier this month.
This is out-of-print (OOP) Simplicity 8666 in a light-weight cotton that has been in the stash, again, for many moons.
Same changes, as the previous version:
- The sides were extended, 1 5/8" from the upper portion grading outward to 2" towards the hemline.
- The length was shortened by two and a half inches.
- The front was lowered by 1" at the centre front grading to the original shaping outwards.
- The straps are ten inches in length.
Project Details
Seams: Sewn with the straight stitch at a 2.6 length.
Seam Finish: The sides have French seams. The neckline and armholes have a bias tape finish. The hem is finished with a 3/8" narrow hem.
Tips: Be willing to spend more time at the ironing board with pressing as you sew. It will make your life at the sewing machine easier.
Fabric: 2 metres
Bias Tape: 1.8 metres double fold
Pattern: OOP Simplicity 8666
Additional Tools & Supplies: Cutting table, measuring tape, ruler, tailor's chalk, measuring gauge, pins, wrist pin cushion, scissors, thread clippers, sewing machine, walking foot, tweezers, safety pin, iron, ironing board, tea and some cool tunes.
Stay Safe, Be Kind and Happy Sewing!
