More Merino Magic

Winter is certainly here, with a vengeance.

Not that it's actually freezing, (we haven't been close to zero) it just feels that way to those of us who think we live in a subtropical paradise!

But the temperature has been dropping to 4 and 5 degrees overnight, and rising to the early teens during the afternoon.

I've more merino bodysuits cut out for Mitchell (bright yellow and burnt orange this time), but my most recent sewing has been a petticoat for my Mum. Just a half slip, for her to wear under her winter skirts.

Totally simple in construction. Just a rectangle, seamed up the side with an elastic casing at the top and a hem at the bottom.

I used the same olive green merino that I've used for Mitchell in the past. Lightweight and warm, it'll be comfortable to wear.

I used the over-locker to hem the seams, then zig-zag stitched them together (or down in the case of the casing and hem).

Totally easy and quick -- took about an hour all up (including measuring the hem length -- which took the most time!)

Doesn't seem worthwhile to post a photo -- but if anyone's interested, I will.
