Nicole replied to the topic Lining fabric for pockets? in the forum oliver + s: school photo 10 years ago
I have made several and the lining doesn’t show.
Perhaps roll your seam slightly inwards when pressing to be on the safe side. -

Susan, I have some piccies of the yoke here as well as a nifty treatment for the collar to get it to sit like a two piece.

Reeni replied to the topic Odd shaped Buttons–what do I need to know? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
go smaller rather than bigger. They will loosen over time, especially where the pointed part of the crescent goes. Since they are pajamas, it’s an easy fix to re-close/tighten them with a few stitches when this happens…

@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. -

@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’ll bet she looks great in that skirt Tamara.
Last night I made the Lisette 6182 top in z rayon challis and I’ve worn it all day today and love it. I’m also appreciating my lack of boobage. No bust, no alterations, no muslin, just sew! I’ll make the skirt next and then get some pictures.

There are some good seams to take it in by @vothgirl. A little from each would give you the best result.

I finished by husbands long waited Liberty shirt, I have only had the fabric for two years. 🙂
I have moved on to a trusty KwikSew polo top for him, in a vibrant green/pink stripe.

It’s like grown up Sunday Brunch! I can see why you’d want another. No help with a pattern sorry, but I’ll bet there’s one out there that’s similar enough.
