First stitch done on the machine, using a 2.0 stitch length.
Still working on my pink Baby's Smocked Layette dress.
I am stitching my raglan sleeve to the dress front using French Seams.
After the first stitching, trimming and pressing, I am pinning right sides together of the back of the raglan sleeve/dress back.

Always pin your fabric so that you can easily remove the pins before stitching.
And I stitch the back sleeve to the back dress by machine. I like to use a Straight Stitch foot because there is more control of the fabric as it feeds.
But, I decided to do the second stitching on the front dress/sleeve, by hand. I want my stitches to sit right next to the Smocking. And I have more control when I stitch by hand. It doesn't take long either.
My Brown Dog waits right by the door. He wants to make sure I am really coming outside!
I decide to take my stitching outside, along with my breakfast and a book. It takes two trips.
Now, this is the life!
And I finished my Tea House Mystery book. I think I must have read most of the books in this series. I hate for a good book to end!!
Greek yogurt, bluberries and walnuts. I love them!
And this is my view this morning.
You just missed seeing the Humming Bird that loves my Salvia.
Top of the mornin' to you!
