Sewing crochet on fabric

Sewing crochet on fabric, originally uploaded by picable.

Sometimes I want to sew something and find that I don't quite have enough material. The solution for me was to look at crochet as fabric.

I use the large safety pins to anchor the crochet in place and then hand sew it in place. This is my personal preference. Some prefer to sew with a machine. I always say I'm just going to baste it on by hand before sewing it on the machine. Then, I end up satisfied with the all but invisible small stiches done by hand.
