renfrew: done

decided to add the bottom band after discovering there was enough fabric for it.

Delighted to have this completed, and ready to cut out a batch more, with & without a back centre seam, determined by how much of each fabric there is.

Won’t give this a proper wear test for a few months. Temp’s a bit too high right now for an almost fleece weight cotton. . . . .

just wish I could find those directions. . . . . . .

  Thank you! Fooled you, too, with those sleeves.
  They’re plenty long without bands, so I just turned ’em under & stitched.
  Yes, lazy me!

Whooppeee! It looks fab! I think the bands give a neater finish. Just needs a good press, just saying! Sorry! I hate ironing but pressing whilst sewing is so different! 😀

  Thank you! He-he… I only did a band at the bottom. The sleeves are just turned under & double-stitched.
  Yep, you’re right. Shoulda gotten the iron out. (red-faced grin) Didn’t even think about that…

    Pressing is the best bit, it means you’ve finished!!
