I’ve been banging on about it for days, so now let me show you what’s involved in a fancy couture invisible zip.

Here’s where I am in the process… the zip’s tape has been attached to the allowances with a running stitch. And I’ve just hand overcast the edge of the zip that won’t be later covered in grosgrain to its allowance.

Next I’ll baste in the grosgrain.

Pieces are cut. Now to decide if I want to chance winging a welt pocket...

I *do* desperately want a welt pocket in the vest. It's just if I'm gonna fuck it all up if I do.

*flails*

Gonna cut the pieces out for it, and the interfacing. Then have a cuppa to fortify myself.

Okay, with the collar basted on and the gathers more or less properly distributed, Chad and I were able to confirm that Lisa’s #NeoVictorianBlouse blouse is not the suck. Now to undo all of this basting and properly finish up the zip/center back assembly.

Related: I really need to get a femme dressform. Chad isn’t cutting it.

This photo does not come close to capturing how beautiful this brocade silk is.

The green jacquard is going to become a fancy dress vest. The cream paisley is going to become a set of stays.

And the tan habotai is for linings.

I'm so excited and also nervous.

Pigs were my favourite animal as a kid and I honestly believe young Evan would have been OBSESSED with the design of this pocket pal! 🐷
Here’s where you can adopt a pink one 🐽 https://evanskyarts.com/en/products/pig-pocket-pal

update - solved by @fskornia - it's a "presser foot screw".. ha!

fellow sewing machine nerds: i am resurrecting a Pfaff Select 1546 from the dead - a thrifting find last week. after 20+ hours of repair work, the machine is nearly done.

i have one last job: i bought a replacement presser foot attach/release assembly. it's supposed to screw into the top feed as shown, unfortunately the assembly didn't come with the screw! (pic 2, shown in red)

can anyone help me identify the screw? i couldn't find it in either the user or service manuals, and web searches are only showing screws for other machines. it would help to know even what the screw is called at this location.
