wakeiseiyoSo, I cut and edge-finished with the serger a handful of han-eri and a date-eri (started as a han-eri, but the fabric was too darn shiny and the pattern's small enough it would work as just a peep of color, rather than a visible full layer), and used the basting-length stitch on my old machine to tack down a light pink cotton-with-pinker-flower-buds layer to one of my juban. It's the lightest fabric I have for the purpose at the moment, as most of my han-eri selections were made back in December or so. I still have one to cut and interface (keeps the wrinkling down with a layer of lightweight interfacing) that's a VERY Christmas-y pattern of black with gold, red, and green curliques all over. As well as a flannel-like brown cotton that's better suited to autumn.
Which means I should do some careful accounting before Tuesday and see if I can't go snag another 3/8 yard of some lighter, more summer-y fabrics (amybe something gauzy?) to make into more date- and han-eri. And more fusible lightweight interfacing.
This is my practice before I start cutting into my black kimono fabric, primarily because it's good practice for cutting 45"-long straight lines (though the fabric is pinstriped, so it's not THAT hard...), especially as I lack a cutting table or similar expanse of flat surface. (That and I may hold off on the project after all only because it's black polyester and we're hitting the beginnings of summer temperatures. So.)
One more little project I've finally crossed off my list, at least.
Still haven't studied for my midterm tomorrow though. Ah well.
