Recently Sewn

It has only been in the last few months that I have started using knits. Knits are a little scary. There are different weights and directions of stretch- it can all be a little confusing. Here are a few projects from the past few months:

First up, my second or third Bimaa, but the first one I did with a cowl neck. I love this one. Harper wore it once and acted like she liked it and has not worn it again. 

This is another Pinterest idea to use up some scraps. I think it made a nice addition to the mantel. 

I love, love, love these Christmas PJs. For these, I splurged and bought Riley Blake knit. It is expensive but so worth it. It is so soft, an awesome weight, and it barely shrank. Someone shared their reindeer template in a sewing group, so I used that and it was a nice addition to the stripes. 

Growing up, I was always allowed to open PJs on Christmas Eve so we have started doing it now too. After church, we open PJs and watch a Christmas movie. My husband is still not entirely convinced the kids should get to open a present on Christmas Eve but he said if I make him a pair next year, he may reconsider ;)

And lastly, The Greenpoint Cardigan finished today. This was a quick sew, the longest part was taking off the walking foot, switching it to the bottom hole foot and making button holes. Super quick and easy! Harper seems to be a fan and wore it most of the afternoon- hooray!

Anyway, maybe I should try to do a better job keeping up with the things I make? Sometimes, there is just not enough time. I worry sometimes I will get to sewing and forget to get the kids from school. That hasn't happened yet, thank goodness!!
