Hey there! Good job! I want to get this pattern but i was wondering about the seam binding also… i would honestly rather skip that step lol do you find it was a big deal that you didnt add it?

Hi Elle, lovely to see you back on the channel, and go you, great dress. It would have been acceptable to use ribbon on the shoulder seam. Also, for quickness, when you are overlocking, line up the garment so you can easily go from one seam to the next - saves time and overlocker thread. Then simply trim in between. I like the effect you create with the different threads, I so do that too. I was with you on the unpicking of the side seam - I would have made the same error in my haste to get it together to try on. So you don't burn the fabric, put a pressing cloth over what you are working on. It could be something as simple as a hankerchief. By the way, really really enjoy hearing you and Hazel talking on the podcast, you are so fun together. All the best to you and Hazel for 2023 - love from Heather, New Zealand x

I skip many directions alot because they are old school and it really depends on your fabric.
