Yes, Jadewink, that table is pretty cool isn't it! Lots of room for projects, although I do dream about a 7 foot long, perfectly smooth table dedicated just to sewing. When we win the lottery and buy a bigger house, I'll have a sewing room-and I won't let the cat in

Last night, after my martini and omelet, despite my vow not to, I got a bee in my bonnet to do more on the kilt. So, I drove the sewing machine under the influence! Luckily, no harm came of it, either directly or indirectly.

Because the bottom of the fabric does not have a selvedged edge when joined like I have done (and even if it did, it didn't look like it would make an attractive hem), I decided to hem the length.

So, I marked 1.5 inches (remember, my "victim" has a drop of 22.5 inches and I have a 24 inch wide strip of fabric now)



Then I started to iron the hem in



But realized I had not yet "locked in" the edge to keep it from fraying. My tired old machine does not have an overlock stitch, so I had to run zig zags back and forth and a line of straight stitching down the middle of these. Instead of turning the fabric around when I got to the end of the zig zag and wanted to go back the other way, I flipped it over (so I didn't have to deal with all the material under the arm of the machine.





Next, I finished ironing the edge up and pinned it, checking to be sure it is indeed at 22.5 inches.



Next step...the over apron strip with velcro and the actual sewing of the hem.
