Have you been wondering what is the best sewing machine to buy? I know that I have! I am excited to introduce Ruthanne, who is sharing her sewing machine buying guide and tips on how to buy the best sewing machine for your needs and budget. This time about twelve years ago, I walked into my nearest SEARS department store, randomly picked out one of the most expensive sewing machine they carried, brought it home and promptly felt overwhelmed. To this day, out of the 18 different stitches my sewing machine can do, I've only ever used three of them.

Liza Minelli Mmm Peter Pan collars. Aren't they just delish? And paired with matching cuffs on a cute shift, make for the idyllic 60's dress. I'm not sure how this trend started. Perhaps it was to replicate men's business shirts with the white collar and cuffs on a contrasting fabric? But with a cuter, sweeter edge. Regardless, I'm smitten with this neat mod look and as such my next project is very much influenced by the following images. 1967 The Softer Look On the set of Week-end. Jean Luc Godard, 1967 If you haven't noticed yet, at the top left of my blog there is now a Current projects widget. I'll be updating this every time I start a new project, that way you can see what I'm up to! You can kinda see what I have planned already... The look of the contrasting collar and cuffs has such a neat and pretty style, and was clearly very popular with Sears and JC Penny designers, as you can see below. 1969 Sears Catalog Fashion spread in Glamour magazine, October 1965 1969 Sears Christmas catalog Source Junior Bazaar fashions from Sears, 1968 Source I can imagine the long sleeves and high necks were relief for all the mothers who didn't want to see their daughters in mini skirts! Colleen Corby (JCPenney Catalog - 1973) But of course it was also typical to see this on the street, and Mary Quant and Foale and Tuffin also featured this look a few times. Chrissie Shrimpton in 1965 Piccadilly Circus, London, 1960’s Photography by F.C. Gundlach Source Source Aren't they lovely? So many lovely versions can still be bought today like this one from ASOS Ill be making my one out of Black Ponte De Roma double knit. My machines (and mine) favourite fabric I'm well over fussy fabrics for the time being, no more chiffon or lurex for a while! I've got piles and piles of double knit and cottons to sew with. I love sewing with it as I feel like I'm actually in control, although admittedly chiffon is better at hiding boo-boos! I've already cut and overcasted the pieces, hopefully it will be ready to show you this weekend. Are you a fan of this look? Does the idea of white collars and cuffs make you moan on laundry day?

You can knit Groovy as a shawl or large, deep scarf. The design is triangle shaped, has very deep ribs and notches on one side. Can be knit with 4mm needles and DK weight yarns. If you prefer a thicker shawl, use 5mm needles and aran weight yarns. You will need a minimum of 500 meters of yarn for a large scarf and closer to 900 meters or more for a large shawl. Using more yarn will result in a deeper, larger shawl. This design is quite flexible!If you prefer to knit Groovy with sock or lace weight, please see my "Groovy Lace/Fingering Weight" design.Enjoy!
