I have been sewing and knitting pretty regularly. I made a lovely floral print blouse from the same pattern as my white Lekala blouse, but didn't take any photos. I made my first attempt at a bra for myself. That one is in time out right now because of fit issues. Most of my knitting lately is for Christmas gifts. So nothing I can blog about there, either.
Yesterday I did some repairs on my kitty print pajama pants I made last year. The drawstring waist was just not working in the knit, so I cut off that waist and put in a casing and 2 rows of 2/8 inch elastic instead.
Today I made a really bright pink tshirt to wear as the top with those kitty pajama pants:
The pink is a cotton double knit, and it seems like it got ruffly every time I did any topstitching. I had similar issues with my grey double knit skirt. I had not stay stitched the neckline, but I wonder if that would have been enough or if I should have used stay tape or something.
