Feather Stitching, Again
Sure, I'd like to be full of surprises, but instead I always find myself choosing feather stitching for my jersey seams.

That looks fun!
It is beautiful! I am sewing up my first Alabama Chanin skirt now--well, I'm cutting out the reverse applique now. The seams come next. The feather stitching looks so beautiful and decorative, although for this first experiment I'll go with the more straightforward running stitch.
Anna, I've put this off for far too long. May I thank you for sharing your perspective? When you announced you were taking a break from blogging I didn't initially realize the influence you have on me but I did appreciate your return. Your willingness to share the details of your life is like a balm to me. Your voice is at once cool and above the fray of modernity yet still warm and caring, showing a true appreciation for all that God has blessed upon you. Thank you. Thank you.
A very pretty stitch! I am making the headband for a gift. I used some fabric marker on it, and I may use some beads. I hope it comes out nice!

This just makes me sigh contentedly. If I can't be working on my own AC garment, well, I can enjoy you working on one :-)
My great-grandmother reinforced the hand-whipped hems of her classic white baby garments with delicate white feather stitching from the right side. She also sewed a similar line of decorative feather stitching on the tiny bias binding around the neck and cuffs. You are in good company!
Sherri, thank you for your kind words.
Anna,
I've always wondered (and if you've already answered this question, forgive me) but do you preshrink your fabric so that it can be machine washable and dryable? I'm looking at all this beautiful work and wondering about the practicality of it.
Thanks for answering a mundane question
Jeanine, the jersey that I actually get from Alabama Chanin comes preshrunk which is a great blessing! It's ready to lay out on the table and cut. Anything else I will definitely wash in the washer and then dry. I machine-wash all my garments, and also put them in the dryer some to help keep them in shape. I put in beads, applique, couching, paint, you name it. They have held up very well.
