After I bought two more patterns today I finally hid the group so that it doesn't appear in my FB news feed. It was just costing me waaaaaayyyyy too much money! Although I have a ton of fabulous new patterns to try out. Maybe I will unhide it in a few months when I start thinking about sewing for the fall.Diane I did get the romper along with the Delany top. I also bought 2 patterns by CKC the peony maxi dress and a maxi skirt for C
I have picked up a couple patterns too. I got the Rachel Knit dress (and went to the thrift store for some up-cyclable t-shirts) and a couple more. On my agenda is sewing with knits. I have been searching all the remnant bins for some knits to practice with and scored big time at Hancock fabrics with a yard of pink with white pokladots! Woo hoo!
I also wanted to share this, it made my day, I made these shirts before we left on our road trip and today was the girls' birthday. Their mom showed the bakery the shirts and they made cakes to match. How cute are these?
Sewing with knits is a breeze. I was afraid to try it but it is really mostly the same as any other sewing. I actually find it a bit easier in some ways. For example, if you don't want to hem something, you really don't have to. You can do a rolled hem, or a lettuce edge or even leave it unfinished. Just make sure you stabilize the shoulders on dresses and shirts so that they don't eventually lose their shape. I have the Rachel pattern. It is another one of those patterns that I swear I am going to make one day very, very soon. Lisa said she is going to come out with a boys shirt pattern one day too. That should be lots of fun.
I remember when you made the shirts. The matching cakes are adorable!!!
