I sewed the sleeves into the armscye of the silk jacket
today. Since this is not going to be lined, I serged the
edges. And guess what? I DIDN'T take a chunk out of the
jacket body! As my DFIL used to say, when the kids made a
(sort of dumb) mistake: "You just learned a *valuable*
*lesson*!"
Well, I learned a very valuable lesson with the error on the
camp shirt, and I was extra EXTRA careful while guiding the
silk through the Huskylock. All is well, and I'm coming
down the home stretch, just position the loops, sew the
facings, hems and then sew on the buttons. Whew.

Good for you, Beverly! You did well.
Maybe you should hang the camp shirt near the serger to remind you not
repeat that terrible error. Or will a picture of it come to mind every time
you serge something now?

I'm going to repair the camp shirt, the fabric is just too
pretty for a dust rag. ;-} I fund a scrap which is large
enough to cut a new "side left front", so I'll make a faux
shoulder princess seam on the one side and call it a "design
feature". Once it's sewn in place and the sleeve re-set, no
one will ever know...except all of you.

And we'll never tell, would we, friends? "Not I", say each of us.
