Hi Debbie and other club members. ?Im in the process of finishing the Kimono from February. ?Ive taken my time since Im not a very experienced sewist. ?Its coming together really well. ?Ive just one question. ?The underarm seams are very bulky, I know to snip into the seam at this point but should I have curved the sewing line as well? ?Its probably a daft question to ask ?to be honest but I would like to make a good job of it as its going to be a present for my sister. Thanks Debbie for all your hard work compiling these patterns. ? Im getting such a buzz from learning to sew after many years of thinking its beyond me. ?I suppose COVID lockdowns have given us all the opportunity to learn new skills. ? Best wishes ? Michele ?x

Hi Michelle, there's a slight curve under the arm, snip up to the stitches, you could trim away a little of the seam allowance if that helps, and glad you're enjoying the sewing!

I have an old Brother sewing machine & I don't have a facility to lower the feed dogs (think that's what it's called). Am I able to do free motion with my machine without lowering them? Is there a way round it? I'd love to do the Wonky Street projects. Thank you, Cheryl

i made this bag but straps look too long ....?? tomorrow i may cut middle of straps ...shorten and then add a patch of faux leather
Helen replied: 17 Apr 21 at 11:11
Hi Kim, Here is another idea for you if you are making any more bags,you could also put tabs on the bag and if you have to adjust the strap then you only have to unpick it from the strap. I meant to say this the last time Happy sewing Helen
