Bondi is my most-made pattern, and now that I have it adjusted to perfection<\/a>, I’m making even more. I made two short-sleeve, screwp-neck<\/a>, 4p Bondi shirts in one evening. I made one from a yard of seafoam and off-white pencil stripe stretch modal jersey that I bought last Fall from Cali Fabrics because it matched my seafoam pants<\/a> perfectly. I made the other one from a yard of green frost ITY from stylishfabric.com<\/a> (the color looks like avocado to me) that I ordered last year while collecting greenish fabric options for my daughter’s prom dress<\/a>. I was in the middle of a lot of light green sewing so I decided to knock these two out before I took the seafoam thread out of my serger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cut the striped shirt out carefully and used my fabric glue stick to match the stripes. I was also careful with my placement of the blue stripe in the neck band. I think it came out better than my previous attempts at striped shirts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fused all the hems with HeatnBond Soft Stretch<\/a> and finished with a cover stitch (which did require changing the thread after all, but I did this last after I was done with all my seafoam sewing). I’m still not great at cover stitching, but each time I do it I try to read some tips or watch a video and I’m slowly getting better at it. I can setup my Triumph for cover stitching pretty quickly now, and I have now mastered the technique of pulling the top threads to the bottom at the end so they can be easily tied off. I also realized I was using the wrong table attachment (the hazard of having too many accessories?) and that was making it harder to sew over seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
