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. . . . . . .

Looks gorgeous and I love the colour! 🍊
Very nice! I love the bands and the colour is fabulous!
Thank you! Fooled you, too, with those sleeves.
They’re plenty long without bands, so I just turned ’em under & stitched.
Yes, lazy me!
Love the colour Del will suit thee perfectly 😘
Thanks, Dear One! Congrats on your work-sewing lesson!
xx
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!!
Yes ~ orange now in laundry; next one’s half completed, and this time the iron’s out! ☀️☀️☀️
