Arm Knitting REMIX!!!

I tried this arm knitting craft again.  This looks better than the first attempt. I think I will use one skein next time instead of 2.  The yarn is "chunky" and is 10% wool. It's nice and soft and cuddly. This is a little heavy!! It will keep me warm next Winter!!




Yarn Used (From Joann): $14.99 each 10% Wool & 90% Acrylic
Red Heart Irresistible Yarn Here Color: Enchanting
Red Heart Irresistible Yarn Here: Color: Berry

The #KiddiePack BackPack

The Kool #KiddiePack 





I made a #Kiddiepack for my Granddaughter and a matching Zipper Pouch for school.  I used Denim(s) I had in my Denim and Leather Stash Box.  If I'm not mistaken this denim was thrifted and/or Gifted.  

See my review of the #HoodyPack Here:

African Print Ankara Dutch Wax Fabric-Peplum Top-McCalls 7356


Fabric: Ankara Dutch Wax (2 different prints)
Pattern: McCalls 7356 View B
Sewing Machine: Bernina Artista 200E
Sewing Skill: Easy to Intermediate 
Sew Again: Maybe, I have quite a few peplum patterns
Recommended: Yes.  Instructions were very easy to follow.  After the first few steps I tossed them aside.
Pattern Alterations: Instead of just doing the usual ol' hem, I created my own bias tape and created my hem with it. I used my Simplicity bias tape maker, I just love that machine.
