up close and personal

i remarked on my last elisalex dress about my neverending use of some magical fabric markers. scientist that she is, miss cation designs did not believe me needed evidence and requested a closeup of the neckline...

 

 

thar she blows, turned under and topstitched. surely this is not the way to do it, but i tried this formula out on a remnant and the weight of the jersey knit fabric held up to my machinations beautifully. you can see the line of white topstitching underneath, colored in like a kid following the lines to her OCD heart's content. what, you need it closer?

 

 

BLAMMO. i'm telling you, if you can find them, get you some zig markers. they were ranted about here.

 

 

 

and from kissing distance, the topstitching disappears completely. she's been washed and worn and all is well, but i'd suggest having a go at it stitch wise on a remnant first if you're using jersey.

 

(hey cation. i scratched your back, now you'll make me a giant squidney squid, right? hot pink, please. 'kthxbye!)
