I serged the edge first and then only had to do one fold for the casing, and it was a breeze. This was the first project I've used my new serger on, and I'm never, ever going back ;-)<br /><br />Here's a link to mine:<br />http://stampingscience.blogspot.com/2009/05/sew-im-thinking.htmlDana (*danavee*)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01795057430280030579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327402053924293545.post-19711653624434097882009-05-29T21:08:22.480-05:002009-05-29T21:08:22.480-05:00Sarah, great tip! thank you for sharing.

But I have also done this technique with the same pattern with other non-striped fabric and it made it quite a bit easier.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453453051892321941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327402053924293545.post-3136849374974584052009-05-29T17:48:14.338-05:002009-05-29T17:48:14.338-05:00great tip. thanks. and your dress looks awesome....great tip. thanks. and your dress looks awesome.<br /><br />i also noticed that your neckline was made up of a bunch of straight lines. i think that would help a lot. they will curve once you put in the elastic anyways. that way it won't be so hard to turn over.Kelli Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250723048820943765noreply@blogger.com
