I know, I said I would finish this the next day. \u00a0I am sorry I didn’t make it back to do that. \u00a0I was working on some sewing of my own. \u00a0Yes, I used my sewing hacks. \u00a0I always hem everything before assembling! Honestly, the method I mentioned of putting sleeves into shirts….why would I use any other method? \u00a0When it works, why fix it? \u00a0So, we have knits and fitting left to discuss don’t we?<\/p>\n
Well, I thought I was much more experienced in these two topics prior to a few searches on the internet. \u00a0As I’ve mentioned before, I cut my sewing needles on knits in the 80’s. \u00a0I grew up in the country and didn’t want to waste my precious money on the 30 minute drive to the store to buy cool clothes for a Saturday night, Wednesday, Monday, any night! \u00a0At that time the cut up tee-shirt\u00a0look was in full force. Sewing a knit dress with the back cut down to there was not really a big deal. Plus, it didn’t use much fabric either. LOL\u00a0 The first hack I learned was knit does not ravel! \u00a0Yay! Wooo hoooo……it’s like Christmas everyday! \u00a0You do not have to hem it unless it’s the look you want. \u00a0Casual dresses and tops can stand on their own, without hemming. The leopard print top above isn’t hemmed anywhere, neckline, sleeves, or bottom. \u00a0It is a rayon blend, so that helps. Knits with more spandex tend to curl. \u00a0If that works with your look, more power to you! \u00a0Save time!<\/p>\n[envira-gallery id=\"792\"]<\/code>
