Over the weekend, I had time to finish one more project. A second set of baby booties (warning swap spoilers ahead):
This round is for my baby and newborn swap partner, but I did manage to trace off a larger size for Easton and intend on making a set for Halloween. I also started cutting material for the ‘large’ swap item – Amy Butler’s Everything Bag from Little Stitches. I’ve been itching to make this project for awhile now and I thought a swap was a good excuse to try it. So far, the brocade has not been fun to work with… and I haven’t even started sewing it!
Can’t wait to see what your “Everything Bag” looks like! Brocade is a total pain in the butt, isn’t it?

Brocade. Ick. I feel your pain.
Cute, cute booties!
Sometimes with ravel-prone, slippery fabrics like brocade, you can tame them by fusing them to a light woven or nonwoven interfacing before cutting out your project.
