More quick sewing

My sister is coming to visit, and is bringing my #5 nephew with her! We don't really have any baby things so I decided to make a few wipes.


First I used a zig-zag stitch on the edges. When I washed the wipes, they frayed badly. Then I busted out my big new Singer (from Costco, last year) and tried more comprehensive stitches. A double checkered row seems to work well.


Yay- destashing in a useful manner!

Sewing and knitting


Yarn: Bernat Baby Jacquards
size 8 needles
knit from the top down


Zipper attached to grosgrain ribbon by machine, then handstitched to sweater.


The sweater is for my #6 nephew. He's not strangely shaped, but I was afraid if I ripped back that sleeve I'd not finish it before he outgrew the sweater!
