top stitching in action

The top stitching photo from the last post was a close up of these pants - pattern M from this book again. Made up in a soft browny/grey Japanese cotton I bought at Tomato before we left Japan. The red top stitching is down the side seams and around the hem.  Nice and simple and soft and crawling-friendly.

Oh lovely pants, must check out that book. I know exactly what you mean about the sewing, I'm completely self taught and wish I had much more technical skill - your top stitching is beautiful, thanks for the links!

here here on the lovely pants and what a gorgeous model!! despite my mother being a dressmaker and my grandmother, i have taught myself the majoritity of what i know, from trial and error, unpicking or making a second time or from observation. i was too stubborn to be taught. if you see a vintage singer sewing how to book like in my flickr stream, it is worth the investment...
