here is the real thing - cutting my camisole pattern on a metre of combed cotton jersey

here are the photos of the process....making my own camisole from scratch.  cutting out the pattern using a metre of combed cotton jersey.

this is the combed cotton jersey. 

the front and back panel.
i cut, on grain, two pieces of each panel using a rotary cutter.
the cut is precise....no jagged lines.  i find that it is easier than using shears.
before cutting, i traced the pattern onto the fabric using a good quality tailors calk
(marking with light pressure, minimise distortion).

see....clean cutting lines.  

then, i pinned the back panel pieces together and sew them up at the centre back.
i use long machine stitches and a universal needle.
it worked just fine.  no puckering nor missed stitches.
then, i did the same for the front panel.

see....i told you :)

yep.  again i am happy with the results.

now, i am off to bind the armhole and the neckline.

i'll be back with more photos.


cheers,
