Faire would be starting this weekend, so I did some much-neglected repair work on my other smock (removing the sleeves and felling the raw side seams). While I don't find felling the interior seams necessary to comfort (the usual reason I hear for doing so), linen just tends to ravel along the cut edges over time. At one point I overcast much of these seam allowances (which did keep things together), but when a hole recently developed along one underarm gusset, it was time to secure everything more permanently and neatly.
Not much to look at, but still feeling accomplished (= a good 90" of running and felling). |
