Waiting on my cutting table for me to dive in: This is an incredible silk charmeuse that I bought from Emma One Sock back when I was working on the projects for Stitch Savvy. I think I had this…
After my love affair with long-sleeved and raglan tees recently, I’ve made more than my share of cuffs from knits. Using photos from those sewing sessions, I put together a quick tutorial for making simple, no-serger knit cuffs–I’ll be…
