I need advice. I was reading something about sewing, when they suggested making the L&S Camp Shirt out of flannel. I loved that idea and immediately bought 5 yards of Kaufman Mammoth in a gorgeous teal check to make a dress. This fabric is pretty heavy – in the 4-6oz/syd I think. Then I read the fabric recommendations – light, drapey, or crisp. Oh squat.

My question: for this flannel, do I need to find another pattern? I’ll still make the camp shirt, just out of something else. But with winter coming a flannel dress is the priority.

TIA

No, you can still make it! The shirt won’t have the same drape as the original pattern, so it may be a little more oversized in appearance. But just refer to the finished measurements on the pattern and that will give you a better sense for how it will fit when it’s finished. I hope that helps!
