Finally made my Metro T

Washed fabric (Kaufman Laguna knit), got pattern printed and put together and little one napped long enough for me to sew up my first sewing project for me to wear (other than costumes). The knit was hard to work with for someone used to quilting cottons. It was wriggly and tough to get the edges smooth for pinning the pattern and ditto sewing. But once it was done and I put it on, super comfy. The Kaufman Laguna is quite nice--soft with a nice amount of stretch. I have more in other colours--will be making this one again! Any tips on working with the knit for pinning? It took me about 45 minutes to pin and cut out the pattern pieces for the long sleeve women's shirt--much longer than a similar amount of pattern pieces on quilting style cotton.
