No, I haven’t run off to join the circus. Yes, life has gotten a little busy right now but it’s interesting that during all the commotion, I am still dreaming of my sewing projects – past, present and future!
What am I (still) working on? My McCall’s M7055. I am hoping it will look great with my Black & Blue Ocelot!
Although before I could finish, I ran out of piping!
You will be happy to hear that I did manage to go inside my local fabric shop and not come out with a hundred dollars worth of new fabric for my stash! Instead I bought $13.00 worth of seam binding, single fold bias tape and PIPING! (I bought just a little extra!)
You might also be happy to hear that I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW! Never before have I had to join piping ends, so now’s the time.
Next step? I want seam binding on the inside of the armholes as when the cardigan falls open it looks too messy for me. Almost done though!
Do you have any tips for working with piping that you would like to share?
Happy Sewing!

That looks tricky. Nicely done, especially given how busy life has been.
Thank you! It’s when life gets busy you wish you had just an extra hour to relax (sew)! 😄
It does look neat. I wish I had a bit more patience to do stuff liked that.
Well, thank you!
Thanks for showing how to join piping. That is really good to know.
Your welcome! It doesn’t happen often, but this cardigan has a lot of “hem” for a short thing!
