One shirt finished. (Merchant & Mills Winnie pj’s) As always, clear instructions & construction. I squeezed out shorts from the remaining fabric but those will have to wait for the weekend.

A long sleeved pj shirt hanging on the back of a white door. The right sleeve is tucked into a patch pocket. The fabric is a pastel yellow with lemons printed on it. There are 5 buttons and a curved camp collar.

Close up view of the inner collar. The tag reads “Made in me time”.

Close up view of a few of the buttons. The top one is white with a few colorful dots. The others are plain white.

That’s a good idea for keeping scraps. Your assistant is adorable.

This Merchant & Mills Winnie pyjama top has been cut out for ages. I’m about halfway finished. There was a slight interlude while I unsuccessfully hunted for the cord & foot pedal to my serger. Luckily I could pull out the Husqvarna.

Finished up the doggy sweater yesterday. The pattern, Edinburgh Seamless dog sweater, was very easy to follow.
Hopefully I’ll get it gifted next week and then I’ll get puppy pictures. ☺️ #knitsky #showmeyourknits

If possible, you can also use a piece of fusible (iron on) interfacing before you sew it up.

Cleaning & organizing the sewing room has produced a bunch of random half finished projects. This little pouch only needed 2 seams done. However, after completing it I realized the zipper stop & pin were missing. Arrggg…it’s an open basket now. #sewsky

A small zippered pouch sitting on a sewing machine extension table. The zipper is yellow. The outer fabric is white with pastel colored clothes. The inner fabric is pink and white striped.

I’m ignoring most of the weekend chores to sew. I’ve got acouple of half started quilt tops that need attention. My quality manager stopped by but wasn’t too impressed.

Cooler weather has reminded me to get going on a sweater for a friend’s pup. I’m trying out the Edinburgh seamless dog sweater pattern by CalicoRadio Knits. The Hobbii yarn is very smooth & easy to knit. #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Secret cat pocket finished! I used up the yarn from my swatches. Very pleased with the results. #knitsky

Blue hand knit cardigan with an afterthought pocket. There is an I-cord at the top outside edge.

Upside down view of inside the pocket. There is a cat image knit in grey yarn on the back flap of the pocket.

It’s hard to get a picture. Another view of the inside of the pocket.

Trying an afterthought pocket in my cardigan. I figured I try a little cat pattern. If it turns out wonky, no one will see it inside the pocket. #knitsky

A royal blue knit cardigan. There is a small swatch started with the beginning of a cat in light gray.

Oh, that’s frustrating. Especially when it’s such a lovely fabric. I tend to use indie patterns and those have all varied widely.

I think her message is important! It may not feel like there is much push back through his smoke and mirrors! But American electeds are pushing back every day! Each of us need to do our part as well. Focus on one goal together. All the big and little wins. KEEP PUSHING!

I feel like I’ve made decent progress. Which is good cause my wrist is cranky & protesting. Do the little ghost needle stops count as spooky? 👻 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #sockknitting
