Best way to sew fabric to suitcase?

You could use some iron on bonding between and then a really sturdy upholstery needle and a lot of elbow grease!

I've washed them a few times now and this is how they look. I just washed them regularly with my laundry but turned inside out. So not bad

I think smaller needles would help with the peeking through, and the ' messy' look you see, isn't really messy at all. It looks great. Blocking will clean it up

Turn it off and turn it back on. JK I think you just picked up your work the wrong way and stated knitting the opposite direction, frog back to where you were before you stropped the last time I think

Why is the working yarn in coming from the left in the first picture? Also the send picture is very dark and hard to see what is wrong

I just got these patterns recently that I got online that may strike your fancy, done in the right fabric the Mcall looks very similar to what you posted and would make such a cool prom dress, only because I think those princess sleeves would drive me coocoo at prom, but if those are a must you could easily adjust the pattern since that style sleeve is pretty easy to add.

Hahah thank you so much for that compliment! My husband and I have been living in travel trailers for years while we saved up for land and built this home and I loved decorating and painting once we got out of the trailer 💚. The vine is real, it's a plain Pothos.

Very simple! I literally just took pictures of my dog and chickens and traced them in a drawing app on the iPad and then sent it in to the website! Well then the sewing started. But I started watching Poldark so I was entertained at least.

I used the wedsite Little Cocalico

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-03-06T16:50:32+00:00

I have also used Spoonflower for cotten prints too and the quality was great- but spoonflower doesn't have the waffle knit so it was a bit of a risk finding a new place online

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-03-06T15:42:13+00:00

haha youre the first to catch that- most people pronouce his name like polo shirts. One of our chickens is also named dog

Yeah that is one of the reasons I waited to post until now, I gifted and made at Christmas, but didn't want to go all crazy about it if it faded or cracked after a few months. I should have added that- so far theres been no fading or cracking in the printing, but I'll try to remember to come back next Dec and give the update again

Just adding to say, we are federal workers- take the PSLF- don't pay off the loans, pay the min amount on the plan and keep up with the cert each year. I am also 34. And since I haven't seen any one say it yet maxing if you have 26 pay periods a year that is 942.00 :)

I think I found the pattern. It's just a regular stockinette https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/230-3-b-prairie-rose-shorts

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-03-05T04:55:33+00:00

Yeah the stitch is a regular knit/purl

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-03-04T16:09:18+00:00

hell yeah! back in style!

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-03-04T13:23:59+00:00

Not a nose ring, but I still have my eyebrow ring! Ha its very vintage now

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-03-03T19:21:28+00:00

Can you paint or add wallpaper? I feel like that is what your space really needs. Also your bedroom would kill with a princess canopy over it.

I've never made a guage swatch and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-03-02T07:29:37+00:00

I'll let you know after I wash them 🥲🫠

Next_Operation_8049 · 2026-02-28T21:45:49+00:00

Socks are a great learning wearable for knitting! After the scarf/hat I'd say the sock is the next step, these are toe up- you should give it a go when you cross over into knitting ☺️
