The overlocker was a struggle as the thickness of the sweaters varied, because different jumpers felt up more than others, so , the stitching is not as I would have wanted...guess I will just have to practice more to get this right in future. The blanket is double sided and on the front section I incorporated a jumper with a pocket for the remote control...I know my cousin well !...Because it was really thick along these pocket seams I had to sew 2 strips of fabric to hold it all together on my regular machine ( I know how that works compared to the overlocker )... a cream, and ,on the back a brown batik .I also decided I was not going to make it a perfect rectangle and trim it leaving the wider parts as they were ...very informal compared to traditional patchwork...hey there's an idea....again !!!...So,finally, even if you think something is trash someone else will really appreciate the challenge of upcycling it into something of use....Maro
