I have set up a homemade gift exchange for my online mommys group

I do mostly applique stuff on tshirts for my son and am just
learning to sew, but I'm thinking I'd like to make her a simple top
and applique it.

I was thinking something tunic-y? Or a little aline top might be
relatively simple? Something with enough flat real estate to do a
nice animal applique (the girl loves rhinos,so I'm considering a
rhino).

How about one of these:

I was looking at this one last night - and thought it looked very
cute and pretty easy. Is the lettuce edge difficult?

Easiest on a serger... You just have to stretch the edge as you
over-sew it on the machine.


I'll practice on some scrap. I even have a couple of yards of knit
lying around.

I found that some knits don't like to be rolled, so just use an
over-edge stitch rather than rolling if you find this is so. The
lettucing works equally well. I did it this way on this shrug:

Kate, the brown velour outfit with the orange shrug is fabulous! I must say
I haven't had a chance to visit your site in a while, but wanted to study
your velour sewing this morning in advance of making one DD a lush brown
velour robe for Christmas.
I must say Weight Watchers was the way to go, wasn't it? You look great.
