Both layers were then treated as one and the lace neckline was simple folded over. After setting in the sleeves I catch stitched the seam allowances to the underlining for a clean finish. My third Moneta ( the green one) had a lined bodice and thus a different neckline finish.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144010556887549717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-35343367462727259982015-05-06T18:15:37.070+02:002015-05-06T18:15:37.070+02:00Your blog is very inspiring :) i just made my firs...Your blog is very inspiring :) i just made my first Monetta and am planning two more ��. I didn't have any clear elastic (neither did the fabric store) so I used regular. Next time I'll order the clear because the regular made a hard ridge that I have to cover with a belt. Was it difficult to line the bodice (version 1) and add a sleeve? I'd like to do that but don't see how to turn the bodice. Do you leave the sleeve edge unfinished and insert the sleeve as usual pretending the two layers are really only one?
