I lined my Libby the same way you did. It made for a VERY thick seam at the top of the waistline, but it's not noticeable in wearing. And since my Libby was made out of a stretch woven I wanted to help the waistline "stay". It's worked rather well, hope your does too!SewJillianhttp://www.sewunravelled.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-56467230083749534752015-05-18T20:06:08.230+10:002015-05-18T20:06:08.230+10:00Gotta love some basics with sass (and pink)!

And to try and fit sewing in around my crazy early bed time to get to 6am gym rehab sessions 20 minutes on the timer to get little chunks in here and there has been super helpful. Hope you're feeling better after your cold/flu yuckiness!Amanda Adamshttp://www.bimbleandpimble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-13973461109646589982015-05-18T18:27:54.340+10:002015-05-18T18:27:54.340+10:00Oh yes, the time poor dilemma!

I often get an hour done in the evenings and may get half an hour while dinner is cooking, if I am not playing taxi to one of my kids. Weekends are usually out due to sporting commitments and housework and weekdays are dedicated to work and extra curricular kid activities. I am trying not to make too many sewing queues because I really don't need the extra pressure.Fabric Epiphaniesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-78960151133974172432015-05-18T15:21:42.379+10:002015-05-18T15:21:42.379+10:00Love the stripes and contrast sleeves!

I agree re raglan drafting - it's a knit basic I know but I've just made the Named Geneva raglan tee and it has the most beautiful curved seams and shoulder dart.

My stash does whisper to me but then I take the offending piece to my wardrobe to see what it coordinates with. Sometimes the whisper disappear but other times it starts yelling!Blogless Annanoreply@blogger.com
