Kanisa's knit-sew-along project

I love sew-alongs because they keep me motivated to start and complete a project. It also helps to know someone else is making a similar garment in case I run into problems. Looking forward to more Cut-Sew-Wear sew-alongs in the future. 

Here is what I did for my knit project.

I choose this pattern 

I chose to do a shorter version of view D

Because I had a limited amount of fabric that I bought from NY Elegant Fabrics from their fabulous clearance section

I ironed my pattern pieces with a low dry iron. 

Then ironed my fabric

Took a sip :)

Then cut my fabric using a rotary cutter (a much smarter option for knits)

I transferred the pattern markings

Then I took a lunch break and had to refresh my beverage.

And put on some mindless background noise. 

Dusted off my machine from the previous project. 

Put in a new jersey needle

Threaded the bobbin. 

And stitched away with my new walking foot that handled the knit perfectly. 

I used some heat-n-bond to strengthen the shoulder seams. 

And hem clips for a perfect hem. 

The final results turned out just 'ok'.The stretch of the knit runs vertically. It should be running horizontally for a more comfortable fit.  

Stay tuned for our next sew-along. We will be tackling coats/jackets for the fall.
