An Edge for Knits




I've been looking for edge-finishing solutions for knits for two years. I came up with this technique for necklines & armholes. It's great because it involves no pressing or basting and little measuring. It looks great on the inside and outside.

Pleated Shoulders


This top is Vogue 2925 made from jersey. I like the pleats but the overall shape is too boxy.

All-Occassion Outfit



The vest is based on McCall's 5186, the skirt started with Simplicity 2645, and the cowl T was a combination of a shirt from Banana Republic and my custom T-shirt pattern.

New Tote Bag Style


The benefit to this bag is that it's lined, so you can use up weird fabric that you shouldn't have bought twice as fast, and then use the bag for fancier shopping. It's Simplicity 2806.
