Sew Alongs 10 years agoI think cotton jersey is great for polos and T-shirts, and I’m sure it will be fine here. This pattern doesn’t need a ton of stretch, especially with the woven details. So glad you’re joining us!

Are they girl super heroes or boys? My eldest daughter loves superheroes too – Batman and the like.
Today I hope to complete the 2+2 top and at least make a start on the music class shirt. We shall see.
