Come sew and knit with me: Einstein Jacket
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012/02/einstein-jacket.html
Come sew and knit with me. Thursday, February 2, 2012. I finally finished my Einstein coat/jacket that I started 6 months ago during our marathon vacation to the tip of the UP and back. This is Sally Melville's famous pattern from her book The Knit Stitch. I made the medium size, but adjusted the number of stitches because I wasn't getting the gauge Sally specified. I also used a tip I found in the Einstein group on Ravelry. I used Lion Brand Suede. In the color fuschia. February 2, 2012 at 8:57 PM.

Come sew and knit with me: February 2012
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Come sew and knit with me. Monday, February 13, 2012. When a friend spends two and a half hours wrapping you in duct tape and another half hour trying to cut you out of it, she deserves a thank you gift. And having spotted her much-loved but very worn-looking coin purse last week, this seemed perfect. I found this pattern at CraftPassion. Links to this post. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Duct Tape dress form. All the plumb lines are still plumb and the measurements of the form are (almost) identical to mine.

Come sew and knit with me: My Finished Sweater-Coat
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-finished-sweater-coat.html
Come sew and knit with me. Monday, March 5, 2012. The challenge for our designer group for February was to use wool sweaters to make a garment inspired by the ones at KatWise. You can see what the rest of the group did at our Blog. But here is mine and my story. The photo on the left is on my dress form, but the outside picture shows the true colors better. I was trying to show how it twirls, hence the blurry edges. One Etsy seller who had coats I really liked was Jill2Day. So far all my sewing and knitt...

Come sew and knit with me: April 2012
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Come sew and knit with me. Friday, April 27, 2012. Our most recent challenge in Designer Group III. Was to use suit jackets (men's or women's) to make a purse or tote. And the point was to use the lapels, pockets, sleeve details, and other parts unique to the jackets as focal points on our bag. I used all three colors of the linings to make the piping that separates the various parts. The right side of the purse front is the sleeve cuff - with added buttons) and that piece wraps around to the back. Here ...
