Certificate, Module 5, Chapter 6: Tucks, Pleats and Gathers, Day 28

Celebrating three family birthdays in one week, shopping for presents, baking birthday cakes and visiting, have filled the last few days with so much hectic and enjoyable activity that there has been no time to work on samples or post on this blog.  So today, a quiet day at home, I'm playing catch-up.

I have now completed the sample 5.6.13.  It has been getting me down somewhat, and so I'll be glad to move on to another chapter.

3.6.13(g)  A pintuck formed by working a row of looped edge stitching with detached buttonhole stitch.

3.6.13 (h)  A plain tuck bound at intervals

5.6.13 (i) A tuck stitched with blanket stitch with detached buttonhole stitch worked in the loops at the edge with a contrasting thread.

5.6.13 (j) A tuck stitched with chain stitch.

5.6.13 (k)  A plain tuck ironed to make a box pleat and stitched by machine at the edges with a variable zigzag stitch.
