BurdaStyle & my Clover Tracing Wheel

Today I managed to complete my grey skirt I cut out nearly 2 weeks ago, but I will post that tomorrow with some pictures.

My last post showed a number of items from the BurdaStyle Magazine for February that I loved, and I wanted to cut out something quick that I could run up tomorrow before lunch so decided on
this simple little top 02/2013/127.



A few weeks back I told you about my new little tool, the Clover Double Tracing Wheel, and this was the first chance that I had to try it out.  I thought I would do a quick little video clip for you to see how easy it is.  




Someone, somewhere in a blog mentioned using the sewing machine to stitch around the pattern piece and then tearing away the extra paper where the machine had perforated it, but I actually found the double tracing wheel easier (I tried both ways).

Tomorrow I need an early start to finish my top which I have cut out in a nice baby blue cotton jersey,  before the kids turn up for lunch, but I hope to show you the completed top with my skirt.

Hope you have had a good weekend.  Catch you later.............

    The top you chose is so cute - something a little different for a top and very stylish. Can't see your video, though - When I try to view it, it says it's private.

    I love this top (and not because it is see thru) for its style. Can hardly wait to see your version with the skirt.

    I saw that top in one of the latest collections on the Burdastyle website. Very nice, look forward to seeing your version. I have seen the double wheel recommended before, and enjoyed your video of it in action.

    Thanks for showing how you use the tool. Great video. And this is one of my picks from the February issue as well. First some other projects though.

    Have a lovely lunch.
