I blame the cat!
That will serve me right for opening the craft room door!
I did manage to get the Kwik Sew shirt done.
The good is that it fits and it is finished and it is purple. For next time I would do the hem differently. The instructions have you just fold it over but this fabric frayed way too much for that. You just looked at a cut edge of this and it started fraying. So I did a double fold hem but it ended up bulky. Maybe this would be a job for my new serger when I get it! I think the rolled hem would have worked fine if it had been a bigger hem. I will also interface the little pieces that go on the opening of the sleeves. I know they have a name but it escapes me. With a 1/8" seam allowance they kept fraying on me as I handled them.
All in all I am happy with my shirt and will make this pattern again. My next version will be long sleeves and I think I will modify the long sleeve version to have a cuff. But sticking to my rules I have other things to complete first!
The second job for the day was the Urban Log Cabin quilt. I came close. I got all the strips together and the first boarder on. Then I couldn't make up my mind. Originally I was going to have three boarders but now I am not sure. I am still leaning to the three but I need to think about it.
This is strips sewn together but without first boarder.
Bella being useful as a fabric weight!
