AND have the fleece of the leather against the foot. I thought about interfacing the fleece, but decided on just doing a double layer of it, and basting them together to use as one piece. I cut separate pieces for the cuff, so the seams would be encased inside...
I think it’s the taste of summer in the air. We can’t wait for long days together, sunshine, and fun! Art Gallery Periwinkle Art Gallery Fabrics are always a favorite with my girls so we were thrilled to be able to sew up the knit prints from the newPeriwinkle Fabric collection. ...

Then I put the pocket on top of the front piece, sewed down the middle, then sandwiched all three pieces together to make the padded outside of the cover. I trimmed the seams to 1/4” and mitred the corners. Then I sewed the lining, leaving a turning gap in the bottom, and sewed...
Then to knit the sleeves the shoulder seams are sewn up and then stitches are picked up around the armhole and knitted in the round down towards the cuff. I really liked this approach, I don’t enjoy seaming knitting so this was perfect. Starting this just didn’t go to plan. The ...
