...for the first time since 1856 Middle Georgia experienced an actual Category 1 Hurricane. During hurricane season it's not unusual for us to get residual tropical storms (which can still be horrible); but not a real hurricane! We made it through Praise God, nothing blew away and this time I didn't even lose power - so I sewed...
First up, the new Madison Cardigan from
Style Sew Me. HAD TO HAVE IT!!! I wanted to use another sweater knit but didn't have enough yardage, so I used this Aztec striped sweater knit instead.
Stripped, yes stripped - and this was the dickens to match too. but I did manage to so pretty good with it. I allowed the sweater to hang a full 24 hours then set out to conquer the mammoth high-low hem. I DID NOT want to end up with a wavy hem on all this fabric so I used 1/2" Steam-A-Seam on the entire area before stitching. It seems that the Hurricane Michael blew Fall into the area. The weather man saws that we won't be experiencing any more 90 degree temps so I think I'll have a chance to wear this pretty soon...
