Picot detail
My closet had become so bare, to nourish it, I’m continuing to sew. I really like the way this t-shirt turned out with just a touch of trim around the neckline. I had no pretty edgings or lace but in the stash of various pantie elastic, I found the perfect blush-colored double picot to match the flower print in the black cotton knit fabric. I applied it like a standard edging, sandwiched between the shirt and facing. It came out exactly as I had hoped and gives the neckline a unique touch without looking like elastic.
In preparation for the upcoming vacation with my very special sister, I’ve ordered and received several new clothing items. It’s been so long since I’ve splurged on new clothes, it feels like Christmas! Along with the new items I’ve sewn, I have a new jacket, jeans, sleep shirt, blouses and walking shoes. Today, I’ve ordered some sandals and flip-flops. With the recent gift of new undies and a blouse, I’m all set for the trip. The suitcase will be stuffed and I won’t look like Pitiful Pearl in ragged clothes!
I can hardly wait to escape the high temperatures and drought of Texas and head into the cooler mountains, then to the west coast. I may never come back home!!!
