Embellishing the muslin

Worked on the tunic and added a 3/8" stitched line at the sleeve hem because it makes turning the hem in easier.

I thought it would be cool to try some of the embroidery stitches on the Juki (#59 on the F600). I added a layer of tissue behind the area and stitched two rows of repeating chevrons. It looked good. And when I fold up the hem I think I'll be able to do a line right through it.

I will have to do the same with the tunic hem since I want to make vents on both sides. Better do it next before I stitch any of the rest of the pieces together. Also want to make sure I put the collar facing together; because I reduced the back neck dimension, the facing also needed to be reduced. We'll see how it shows up.
