How to Sew a Knit Neckband || My No-Fail Method

This is one of those sewing skills that took some real trial and error before I felt confident enough that I’d get it right every time. I did conquer the knit neckband, though, and I have a tried and true method that now works perfectly, so I’m here to share it with you today!

If you never quite know how to finish necklines and armholes of knits (that just means stretchy fabrics), this is a great solution for almost any knit fabric. There are of course other methods and I have a favorite way to “bind” the neckline of certain knit garments, but most of the time, especially for more casual clothes, I prefer a neck “band”.

How to Sew Buttons By Machine

I’m a part of a few sewing groups online and the thing I see people avoiding most when it comes to sewing skills is buttons and buttonholes. As for the latter, many sewists avoid them because they’re genuinely afraid of them, and while I have a longer post in the works about how to overcome your fears and start sewing buttonholes like a pro, that’s not what I’m going to talk about today. Today I’m going to spill a secret about sewing on the buttons themselves.

How to Make a Sock Bunny (and a cute fabric carrot!)

Are you an all-out Easter decor type of person?? I traditionally haven’t been, but I felt like livening up the house this season, so starting with my Easter tree, I made a few new decorations.

I recently updated my post on how to make a sock monkey and thought a sock bunny for Easter would be SO CUTE! I didn’t I’d find socks very easily, but lo and behold, I found a perfectly striped springy pair at Target on the first try.
