I had to make the Simplicity 7243 again in a color block type print and solid mix. I really like how this one turned out. I let the sleeved come right above the elbow and I turned under the neck edge and used a twin needle. I broke the twin needle while working on one of the sleeves so the other sleeve I had to use two rows of stitching. It was so much easier than using the twin needle. It has a mind of it's own!

I took this picture before I hemmed the sleeves. I had to move it around a bit to find where I thought it was comfortable.

This was my first time sewing with ponte knit. I L-O-V-E-D it. I had to go back to FabricMart and get more! It was so easy to sew and the stretch was forgiving. I took the seam allowance off my pattern to make up for it being a woven pattern and I used knit fabric. Worked out perfect!
I've sewn a few more nursing tops for my sister in law, and I still trying to get to the rest of the fall wardrobe fabric. I also have to make a cheerleader outfit for a friends' little girl. Never enough hours!
Until next time.........................
