Yesterday I
deconstructed a previously loved grey cashmere sweater. This afternoon I basted all the seams by hand on this simple skull cap before sewing the seams on a Bernina sewing machine. That way everything matches up nicely especially at the top of the hat where 4 points need to match up perfectly. The cashmere wants to slip around much like velvet does when it is machine stitched so I really save time by hand-stitching everything in place first.
It took me about 1 hour to sew this hat with all my fussing.
I have two nice big sleeves to use as material for a grey bunny rabbit doll dress.
What should I show you next?
Show us how you make spaghetti strands from sweater seams!
