wooohoooooo!!!

I did it!  I have been threatening to do it for about a year now, and I finally did it!

I sewed my first knit project on the serger.  I've done a few other things on there, getting used to it, like jammy pants for Josh, tablecloths, Barbie pillows, all in cotton.  I have heard such bad things about sewing knit that I have been nervous.  The funny thing is that I guess some people really like knit, others don't.

Anyway, today I took this:

and I made this:

(let's all say it together in your best Nacho Libre voice -- "stretttcheee paaaantssss")
and the pants actually fit!  Hooray!

They have a couple of issues, including the fact that they have a white thread rolled hem, but since I was only planning to wear them as lounge pants around the house, I didn't see the need to wait until I had matching thread to start.

I might turn out to be one of those people that actually like sewing with knit.  It was much easier than I expected, and I thought much more forgiving than cotton.  I have some fabric to try a simple shirt next time, we'll see how I feel about it after that project.

C'mon and join in.  TRUST ME people, I am definitely a solid example of "if I can do it, anybody can do it."
