Shop style
Glamourpuss wanted a pink tartan pleated skirt, she had described her exact design to me and we were walking through the mall to buy the fabric. Two shops before we got to Lincraft we spied the perfect skirt on a sale rack at Supre of all places, and with just a tiny tuck it fit! 
So, feeling guilty about buying a skirt made by poor Chinese slave labour, rather than making it, I decided to make a t-shirt to go with it instead (even though it is usually just as cheap and much easier to buy t-shirts than to make them). 
I still find knit fabrics a challenge, even after years of practice and knowing in my head that I can sew them fine with a bit of attention to detail. So here it is, a simple t-shirt, but I am feeling rather smug about the shop-bought look of it and the nicely bound neckline and sleeves. The pattern is Ottobre 1/2007, #29, which is actually a leotard, but I just cut off the bottom section.

WOW! Great job! Very professional finish. I'm scared of knits too. I need more practice I think.
Looks great, I haven't ventured to knits yet, have some fabric here just haven't been game. Maybe with my new machine.
