Let's use some decorative elastic from drips to add a fancy and functional waistband to an easy pair of shorts. I'm going to use this organic cotton jersey and Sara flex thread from gorgeous fabrics dot com to make a cute and comfy tank top for summer. The singer, heavy duty 6800 C can work through multiple layers of heavy duty fabric. Plus, it has a ton of built in stitches including two different fonts of alphabet letters. I'm using it to make a heavy duty tote bag with decorative stitch details.

No. Yeah. Hm. This is Sally, the creator of Nick companion and this is a craft camp exclusive. Look at some of my favorite things about the app with Nick companion.

You can customize the interface so it works for you and people rave about the inverted marker. It's so easy on the eyes. You can stop flipping pages with Nick companion. Your key is always handy, learn a new technique or get a refresher knit along with your favorite videos right inside your project. Magic markers are the bomb pick a sample stitch, tap the wand and it finds them all.

Now you can color and count. Play around with colors to see how they look before you watch magic markers work for any chart. Charts can have symbols, color or gray scale and cable or wide stitches. You never need to stop knitting to count or work out which color is which right on your patterns. It's just like paper, but easier to erase.

Knit companion works with any pattern and links to rivalry. It's great for knitting, crochet, beating, weaving and cross stick.
