    Curves and Corners – Marfy 3879

    Dec 12, 2016 5 minutes
    By Alison Wheeler

    Purchased at The Fabric Store in Brisbane, the base fabric is cotton with a fancy square weave, which was available in the ‘70s but not for many years since. The overlay is a very soft, nylon lace – also very popular in that era. In addition to the curved panel and hem band in the original pattern, I have continued the overlay over the left shoulder and partially across the back hem edge to bring interest to the back as well as the front. See photo 1.

    Marfy Patterns is a family owned and operated company based in Ferrara, Italy since 1966. They produce a catalogue in January each year which can be ordered direct and shipped to Australia. The catalogue includes several free patterns with each issue.

    While a number of the patterns can be viewed on the McCall’s website - they are not sold

    Cover-stitch Completion
    The joy of cover-stitching can only be achieve by using good quality thread on both the needles and the lower looper and of course a set of new needles (*EL’s or **SUK’s), are definite a must! I’ve spent many an hour threading, re-threading and again
