Made: onesie from Ottobre (knits class)

July 14th, 2009 Posted in Made

Project Notes: I took my first class at my local fabric store. Ott05-2006_no1.jpg It was called Sewing With Knits II. I’d taken one knit class before in the last city I lived in, a t shirt class. That was less than successful, although I don’t know that it was as much the class. At any rate, this time, things went very well. I think because I did some reading and had more general sewing experience, this time I had many questions for the instructor. I also busted out my snap setter for the first time (a snapsource tool) - that didn’t go so well in class, but when I got home, I went out on the porch and really hammered those snaps in. Success!

My main goal was to really get a handle on doing the binding so I brought a pattern with a lot. I cleverly, but by accident, bound the little sleeve ends first, and by the time I did the longer and more visible neckline binding, I was really getting the hang of it. bindingDetail.jpg

I’m so glad I took the class, and feel much more comfortable with knit sewing now.

Mistakes/Complications: I put the snaps on the wrong side, so the bottom snaps over the front, rather than vice versa. No biggie.

Notes for Next Time: None.
