| Finishing up my home made hat pattern made from fleece. Click on link below to see the very start of this project. Creating Pattern |
 |
| All done! |
 |
| It's just too... cylinder shaped! |
 |
| Clever idea brewing under this hat... |
 |
| All done now with clever idea applied... |
 |
| Gathered back. |
 |
| My sewing machine decided to act up today too! |
 |
| I may add a felt shape to the hat... |
 |
| or simply make more hats! |
 |
| This one is my fav! |
 |
| I absolutely love this sweater dress! Its soft and warm, but the sleeves are awful! The flared part make this dress impossible to do anything in! No cooking, crafting or sewing can be done while wearing this frock! |
 |
| So I have a bunch of charity shop jumpers that need to be put to good use! I plan to attach these sleeves on my dress! |
 |
| This will make a HUGE difference! The one important thing; I'm using ribbed sleeve of blue jumper to replace ribbed, flared sleeve from dress... Ribbed, they stretch the same way. |
 |
| As you all can see, the width of blue sleeve is narrower than the grey. So I will need to pin them snug. |
 |
| All pinned and ready to... |
 |
| SEW! I've removed the platform base on the sewing area so I can slip the sleeve onto the sewing arm base, for a smoother sewing experience. |
 |
| I'm careful to remove the pins so to avoid sewing over them! |
 |
| I'm using a zip zag stitch too, to give it a bit of stretch ability. |
 |
| Done with one sleeve, now the next! |
 |
| No need to bind the edges, as the double seam I made around sleeve arm will hold the fibers, enough. If i had a serger machine, I might serge the edges, but it's not really needed for this project. |
 |
| A nice enough finished seam! |
 |
| Now it's ready to wear! |
 |
| Today is a perfect day for it too...forecast is snow and rain, Brrrrrr... |
