Trials with knit
Last night I had to re-sew my collar + ruffle to my cutsew. I realized that I need more practice with knit. I my stitches weren't straight & it looks messy. I'm going to buy some trim tonight to cover my bad crooked seams. I think that will add some fanciness to it too. Good thing I kept that last 50% off coupon. Another problem is that the ruffle piece I cut was not long enough & doesn't "ruffle" enough (at least to my liking, my husband said it looked ok). The neckline is bigger than I thought too even though I tried to make it smaller. I think it's because the knit keeps stretching as I sew it. It seems there is a lot I need to learn about sewing knit. It will still be wearable however. If I have time I may add some little bows to the neckline. So that is wear I stand right now. I will conquer you knit!
