Knit on Knit

For Christmas (or Super Greed Day, which ever you prefer) this year I tried to make everyone's gifts. There were some exceptions, like the laundry basket that my grandmother actually needed, and the book my grandfather really wanted, but pretty much everyone else got something I made. (and, yes I do know how to weave a basket, just not one that will withstand a load of laundry)




Sometimes I do the appliques without interfacing, but of you apply some knit-fuse, it makes things so much easier. The shapes were made first and sewn on with a machine. The decorative embroidery was added later.

The clouds are actually silver and sparkle a bit!


One added bonus to this project, it gave me a chance to use some scraps and decorate some shirts, without feeling guilty about how much they cost.

I'm going to put step by step directions up here some day, I swear!
