Do you ever look at the clock, and it’s Friday at 3:30, and you still need to make dinner etc., and think to yourself that it’d be a fine and sensible idea to trace and start cutting out three new things with the idea that they’d be worn Sunday afternoon? Yeah, that’s not the greatest idea.

Welcome Enbee, I am glad you have de-lurked!
When I get my new MacBook we must have a natter 🙂

Happy birthday to Tilly.
I was sewing Playdate yesterday too, but mine was a more mundane production line of five pair of leggings.
Heidi I love the sound of a zip up Hide and Seek hoodie dress. Awesome! I’d pass on the cheetah print and ears myself but then I’m not eight! It’s a fabulous idea though and i look forward to seeing it.

My answer disappeared!

I think a stable knit would be lovely. I would use the fabric for facings but interface with a soft product like sheerweft.

There is a Lisette forum where you may get more traffic, MC.

I’m thinking of trying this http://www.sewlisette.com/patterns/B6183 lisette top in a Ponte de Roma double knit. Question 1: good or bad idea? Do I need a woven? Question 2: If I use knit do I also use knit for the neck facing?

Perhaps you need an awesome trench coat in a fresh spring-like colour and put any old thing underneath cause you won’t be taking it off. With a fullish skirt (like the Secret Agent view B) a trench is sort of a dress anyway.

Aww, washyvision is so adorable!
