Officially August!

Worked on my sock mockups lately but discovered the other night that they will end up too small as I did not allow enough for the flat fell seams I decided to put in for strength.  I also did not lay the fabric out on the bias as I was using a small piece of fabric for the mockup.

'Ankle' gores

Flat fold seam pinned and ready to stitch.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Back seam stitched and foot piece ready to add. 

Even though they will not fit well, I am going to finish one sock to work out any other fitting issues.

After all...that is what mock ups are for, eh?

July...then some August too!

I did work on my project during July but unfortunately have not posted anything here yet.  I did add progress photos to my FB albums becuase it seems more people check that out before they look at this blog...me too!

My 'drawers'...

The crouch gores in but waiting to have the flat felled seams topstitched.

Front opening with a small facing. 

Will do eyelets in the waistband and eventually down the rest of the placket...maybe?

Full look at the drawers...before and kind of decorative materials added.

The beginning of the embroidered bands!
