Long sleeve t-shirt tutorial

It's spring - I visited Flo-Jo's Boutique today, and picked up some stretchy fabric. 

Using this tutorial here at Stripes and Polka dots blog, I made myself a slouchy top - sleeves 'n' all. I love my overlocker!


The back!

    1. Thanks Elizabeth - I found SS, stretchy stitch thang on my machine and read the manual to help me with doing the hem on my normal machine. Have a go :)

  2. A great top! I've yet to try an overlocker but I'll have to give it a go now that GBSB has made them so popular. They look a bit scary :-)

    1. An overlocker is fab - I used one when I made a pair of knickers on a workshop and was lucky enough tto get one for my birthday. If you can use a normal machine then the overlocker is not so scary. Using the manual helped with the set up of the threads and some places give you lessons when you buy a machine from them. Good luck! :)

    2. Alli, do you have a 'subscribe function on your blog because I can't find it? Sorry if it's staring me in the face. I'm sewing sashing rows on a quilt and my mind is buggled :-)
