I am still busy with my Craftsy Course Sewing with Knits. I so love this course and look forward to each new lesson :)
On Sunday I finished my scoop neck T-Shirt and I love the way it turned out!
My only downfall in this lesson was the clear elastic, I did use a super slinky Jersey and I am guessing that was the problem, but my Pfaff, the jersey and the clear elastic ended up being at war, with my machine winning and gobbling up what it could of my project. Needless to say after trying to remedy the situation 3 times I opted for no elastic (only on one shoulder :( ) so now I have a good shoulder and a bad shoulder, but I am happy with the overall appearance and outcome.
Jas watched me cut out my top and asked if she could also make one. As it so happened I managed to cut 2 tops out of the material I had on hand and she made a marvelous job of hers too.
Thank you Meg, you have given me a bright new hobby :D

Great job Natalie, you really have to look hard to see the 'bad' shoulder.
ReplyDeleteI've just 're-vamped' an old table and set up a sewing space where I can leave my machine. Until now I've had to unpack it and clear the kitchen table before starting anything. However I need lessons! I think i'll look in to Craftsy and see if they have anything for very untalented beginners!!
Off to Italy tonight to see the sea before settling down to winter in the alps.
Have a good weekend, enjoy your knitting madness hangout.
Hi Emma,
DeleteEnjoy your trip to Italy, hope you have good weather, we really need to get in touch when you come back :)
