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



OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, thats very good to know.

nice shrug!!
