Today we’re going to whip up a pair of Gretas! If you’re running a little behind on Lana, you can also use today as a catch-up day instead of or in addition to sewing up Greta.
A few helpful tips and reminders:
- you may wish to size down on the no-show option, especially if you are on the low end of your measured size
- see page 5 of your Greta tutorial for binding tips and info
- remember that if you use something like picot elastic, there is no seam allowance included around the leg holes/waist, so you will want to stitch the picot right to the edge instead of turning and topstitching
- you MUST use a stretch stitch, even for topstitching; you will not be able to get them on if you use a regular stitch
