One of my sewing resolutions last year was to "master" the zipper in a knit garment. I hadn't had a whole lot of experience with them while using knit fabric, and it definitely showed. So, I decided to do a little research and a lot of testing to figure out how to get that zipper to look perfect every time. Now, there is definitely more than one way to put in the perfect zipper but today, I'm going to share the tips and tricks that I have found to be successful in my own sewing adventures.
Well, I did it! I've been wanting to start a blog for awhile now to share all of my favorite appliques, projects, crazy ideas, and the experience I've gained through making masterpieces out of messes! I actually had it on my list of goals last year and as the year progressed it just got pushed further and further to the back of the list. When January came around again, I decided to just go for it! So as a little thank you for coming along for the ride, I'd like to share one of my favorite applique patterns with you all...The Love Bus! This is by far one of my favorite, most versatile, and well loved patterns I use in my shop Cotton & Grain Sewing Co...
