must sew

Aren't these just as cute as can be? May, from the Knitsmiths also sews and brought in some old patterns she didn't want from a larger lot she'd bought on eBay. They are a little retro, but oh so adorable. I'll definitely have to try them out once I feel like I can do the whole pants fly-buttonhole-waistband thing.

Tonight we're supossed to learn buttonholes and some hemming stitches, so after that I should be able to get started on groovy. I've wanted to start it all week, but step one is 'make buttonholes' and I want to see that at least once in person before I try it on my own. And before I do step one, I'm supposed to 'determine length', which means measuring and I totally suck at that (as any of my knitblog readers can attest to!), so I'm procrastinating.

They are sooo cute. I can just see then in a plain material with a contrast pattern for the pockets, too gorgeous!

Does your new machine have an automatic buttonholer? I hear they're nice.

Laura, I haven't tried doing a buttonhole yet. My manual says that the machine has a buttonhole stitch, but it has a few steps, so I think it's not totally automatic. I have to press the reverse button and maybe move the needle position. I hope not too much more than that!
