@justsewit I know the spotlight knits you mean. They are very “stable” which makes them nice to sew and hem, bug I wouldn’t try using them for a neckband. Perhaps a facing, bug not a stretchy neckband.
If you’d consider buying off the internet sight unseen I can strongly recommend the Ottobre ribbings. I’ve bought them from the Ottobre Etsy shop…[Read more]

@lightningmcstitch as per instructions and with an overlocker. It is knit fabric fron spotlight – jersey it said- but it has like zero stretch and the neckband turned out rediculous! It went in the bin and I have vowed to look for stretchier stuff once I get to Perth. I also indulged and bought some fabric from girlcharlee (I know! Mad! given the…[Read more]

How are you attaching the neckband @justsewit ?
Sewing machine or overlocker/coverstitch?
I am like some weird evangelist when it comes to knit fabric, I want the world to share the love! 🙂
Happy to help if there’s any way I can.

Yay😀 At least you finally are having some success! I discovered that doing a traditional fba doesn’t warrant for accommodating a larger than normal bicep so I need to redraft the front of the gallery tunic so the armscye can actually match the sleeve – i need two tops by tomorrow morning!

I am now about to embark on potentially ruining another pattern😖 Wish me luck!

What a bummer that it doesn’t fit. He measures an 8, but the 10 is too tight across the chest? Or is it that you were looking for a shirt long enough to tuck in? Length is pretty easy to add but if you fear the 12 will be tightly fitted across the chest, adding width might be a bit trickier.

Sarvi, of course you can! The more the merrier😀

D’oh! Were we not supposed to reveal, yet? I can make another!

I sense your frustration levels @withloveHeidi. I cut out two metro tshirts – one women’s size small and a men’s size xs. Started sewing the men’s xs in what I thought was knit fabric with 25% stretch – my foot😤😖 and what the HECK did I do to the neckline???? Oh how I do NOT LIKE SEWING WITH STRETCH FABRICS😭😡
