I'm very new to sewing, but willing to have a go at anything and wondered if anyone can help with this problem?
I have a large chiffon rectangle, 110cms x 240cms - it is finished at the ends. I want to put a simple neck hole or slit in the middle of it. I will also join it simply at the sides so that it can go over my head as a flimsy beach cover up.
I [b]don't[/b] want to go cutting it without being sure of how to do this neatly. I [b]don't[/b] want to use a facing as the fabric is so fine and it will look ugly - ideally I want a kind of 'scarf edge' finish (looks like the fabric is rolled over and sewn), but I don't have any special appliances on my sewing machine to do this - don't mind doing it be hand if that is the recommendation...
How do I neatly finish off the edges around the hole?
Can this be done?
Help!!
