I use my coverstitch for doing hems on knits but it is not very good at going around corners. So for anything with slits I do a narrow zigzag around the slit and go straight across the bottom with my overstitch. This cuts out doing four corners on each side.
Two more sweatshirts based on the Muna and Broad Galen T; with the collar from the LB Pullover; and the hem slits from Toaster Sweater no 2.
I used a little under 2 metres of 150cm wide brushed sweat shirting from Driessen Stoffen - a Dutch company. The fabric is a substantial 80% cotton 20% polyester and I used a size 90 jersey needle.
I wanted a loose, cosy sweater and this is the result. The main part is the Muna and Broad Galen T; the collar is from the LB Pullover; and the hem slits are based on the Toaster Sweater no 2.
I really love this Pattern Scout, Mia Dress. It’s a jersey pattern with raglan sleeves.

I really love this Pattern Scout, Mia Dress. It’s a jersey pattern with raglan sleeves.
The pattern is designed for someone of 5’ 9” and I am about 5.5-6”.
I shortened the skirt 3.5 inches at the shorten lengthen line. I compared the sleeve length to another pattern and shortened them 4 inches (that’s not a misprint!).
I should have checked the collar size before first sewing it on and top-stitching down. It was much too floppy. I ended up making three or four. It is still a tiny bit floppy but a smaller one was too ‘choky’.
Knit interfacing might have helped but I didn’t have any on hand.
I added side-seam pockets – have to have pockets!
This is an easy sew and the pattern is very well drafted with B, C and D cups. The bust fit is particularly good for me due to the well shaped front bodice and the raglan sleeves.
I graded from size 16 at the neck; to 22 D at the bust; back into to 20 at the waist.
I wanted a slightly swishier skirt so I added 2 inches to each side of each skirt piece starting at the hem and grading up to nothing at the waist. So I added a total 8” circumference to the hem.
I’ll be making this again!

I cook almost all dinners from scratch. To make life easier and leave some time for sewing, I bulk prepare and freeze: tomato sauce; cheese bechamel; mire poix; washed and sliced peppers; and hamburgers.
I also grate whole blocks of cheese and keep in fridge to use for lunches and in dinners.
I have a Magimix food processor and it’s brilliant at slicing, grating and chopping. It’s about 30 years old!
I make bechamel using 3 litres of milk. I cook roux thoroughly and don’t worry about initial lumps because I then use stick blender and it makes it beautifully smooth.
Yes, I’m nearly as much obsessed by cooking as sewing!

I made a drawstring and then forgot to add buttonholes!
