It's been many months since I've posted a "Finished:" post. It's been many months since I've posted
any post. I haven't had a mojo for sewing or blogging. I've sewn more wadders than successes. It's best not to sew when your mojo is gone. When a project turned out well, dragging out the backdrop, tripod and camera seemed too much effort. Finally, I finished an easy project at the same time my laziness didn't prevent me from taking a picture and writing a blog post.
I wanted a simple knit top to wear around the house. I love wearing knits, but I don't love sewing them. The cut edges rolled up, one of the things I hate most about sewing knits, but because it's a heavier weight, the roll-up was manageable. This top is so comfortable, I didn't want to take it off after taking the photograph. Previously, I made this top using a medium weight knit, but it just didn't look right when I finished. Choosing the wrong fabric is a mistake I keep making over and over again.
I used one of my machines functional stitches, the double overlock stitch, for decorative hems and neckline. It adds a little ready-to-wear look to the simple top.
Now that my sewing mojo (and maybe even my blogging mojo) is back, I may get back to more challenging projects.
