I completely understand the excitement of finishing that last stitch in something as big as a garment and feeling like "that is it, I have completed it" when the reality is that you most likely still have a way to go before you can actually put it on.

If you only need to know about one of these areas, then feel free to scroll to that point and ignore the other parts, I won't be upset, I won't even know! Otherwise, sip your tea and enjoy the nuggets that I have learned over the last few years and share with you in this blog post. I am going to use the journey of this gorgeous little baby cardigan to show you how I wash, block, seam up, choose trims and record the details. It helps me to repeat patterns with ease and is a great reference back to what I have done in the past. Recording your process - this may seem like it isn't part of the finishing process but for me it is essential that I record all of the information on a project (tension pre and post blocking, weights of yarns used, pattern changes) before I start wearing or give the item away.Joining seams - including weaving in ends.To my mind there are four key areas to properly finishing off a garment (this actually applies to many other projects too, not just things to wear): I hope you have a cuppa in front of you because finishing and blocking your garments is a big subject area and if you know me, you know that I am thorough and passionate about this subject! I should really change my middle name from Bella to Robust.
