This is an almost FO, it needs me to decide on buttons and sew them on. I just have the ones below sitting on the sweater. I love it and can’t wait until EC arrives and can wear it!!
The real FO is my new knitting bag. Ten Pocket Tote was prepped this week for sewing on Tuesday.
I “technically” finished it while sewing with the guild buds, but due to lack of sleeping from 4:30 on Thursday morning it was unfinished. I decided I wanted to change the way the final construction was done. The pattern has you insert the lining in the exterior and then sew the webbing to the top edge and fold to the inside and top stitch the webbing to the top edge. My fix was to sew the webbing to the top of the exterior and then fold the top edge of the lining to the wrong side and then fit it inside the tote and top stitch around the top catching all the layers.
Another alteration is the interior pocket. Instead of making it as wide as the outer pocket, I shortened the width and it now bisects the bag instead of being tacked to one side of the lining. It works better for me. Maybe next time I make this pattern I will just attach the interior pocket completely to the lining. Who knows. All that matters is that my knitting has now been moved from the old Ten Pocket Tote into my new TPT!
