I have been working on Car Catch-alls for my Etsy store today, so I don’t have much to show. Though I did find a great online tutorial for making your own bias tape. The page is obviously made with quilters in mind and discusses the reason to use bias vs straight edge tape on your quilt, so if you are interested, read, if not scroll down to the instructions. Very similar to the process that Amy Karol uses in her book Bend the Rules Sewing, which I have really enjoyed.
The sweater I talked about yesterday was made from a pattern in the Debbie Bliss book, Special Knits: 22 Gorgeous Handknits for Babies and Toddlers using Princess Yarn from Classic Elite Yarns. I believe the color is Proud Peacock, but I’m not sure. I do love the yarn. It’s lovely to knit with and so comfy to wear. The baby really enjoyed her sweater now that I added the tie in the front. I simply made two I cords and sewed them to the front. I love I cords. I think I’ve mentioned that before. I am working on the instructions for the skirt. I have them written out, now I need to make a second while taking pictures to be sure I wrote it right and to have images to accompany the words for the visual among us.
Here is my “Model on the Run”. I did actually manage to take a picture of her looking more sweet baby model-like, but this one is far better.
