Latest Excitement!
I don't remember whether I actually posted my question to you, so I am doing so now. What pattern did you use for this? I would love to knit one for myself! :) It is so cute!
thank you
this Jaeger pattern was made with size 12 needle. It was fast and quick to make. I have worn it over and over again and get a lot of admirer.
i experimented by stretching the elastic thread and not stretching it. I am using Brother sewing machine and it seems like a lot of ppl using this brand have a problem with shirring.
thank you for this tutorial. I didn't get the elastic effect. What have I done wrong. I have put the elastic in the bobbin...set the longest stitch and did the backstitch. Help.
i love it too!
sooooo cute!
thank you Melissa.... im thinking of making another one.... this is going to take monthssss

I read your comment on the "I love to sew" board. I can relate! I would spend most of my time sewing if I had any to spare. I haven't taken any courses (I think I could learn a thing or two from you!) but I just love to sew, especially anything where I have to make it up as I go along!

- Hi Lisa
Thanks for the welcome ....I'm from the East Midlands...Leicestershire....I'm not sure if I'm in the right place here as I haven't sewn for many years but spotted my old dusty singer in the attic and thought I might ''have a go''...

Deborah Peers said… - I do have words to share with you! You can do it!! If you can sew for yourself, you can sew for others. Just relax and take it one step at a time. You will enjoy it if it's no big deal to make a mistake. Just try again, and keep going! God bless!
