Spring Trench

Spring Trench

April 07, 2008

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! This turned out pretty great! And the fit is fab! I managed to ease in the sleeves with no problems! The buttons lined up perfect! I did manage to sew the back side of the snap on upside down rendering it useless until I decide to remove it and sew it on again the right way. This is made with Commander fabric, a poly/cotton blend. Lightweight and should shed the rain well. Hopefully it won't make me too sweaty! This is New Look 6736 Size 14. I cut and finished most of this on April 6th, 2008. I decided that I needed to catch stitch the facings down all the way around so they wouldn't roll. Who knew I could grow to love hand finishing?! Final finishings of buttons and snaps April 7th, 2008. Love it!
