Right on, @lightningmcstitch! The drape is important for this one. The fabric can be relatively thick as long as it’s not too stiff. @Ginger, I’d suggest going to a fabric store and looking at the coatings section so you can see the type of fabric we’ve recommended for this pattern. That way you’ll know what to look for when you shop your stash!

@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]

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.

Finally got the bathers top fitted 🙂 It works very well. Worth it but tedious and frustrating!

@Ginger I think you’re exactly right to say “hold it up and see how it falls/drapes”. If it feels like it will be a nice warm layer and it drapes nicely then I think you’ve got your perfect fabric.
Here’s a picture of my mum and I both wearing the same cape pattern. I love the fabric I found for her one because of the gorgeous double face, but you…[Read more]

I have no idea. I’ve never sewn wool before. Sorry… maybe someone else will jump on.
Sarvi replied to the topic Sketchbook shirt too short in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 10 years ago

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.

Oh I think you could reveal at any time. And you can always make more. 🙂

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