Transition to Spring 2012 Fabric Collection |
|||
This holiday season I offer a brand new fabric collection for you to peruse. At a time of year when everything is usually winding down I have chosen instead to gear up for a new year of creativity in design and sewing. Getting excited about sewing is easy for me when I see my new fabric collection take shape, and I hope it will have the same effect on you. Each fabric in the collection has been carefully selected and edited to reflect the style and quality that you have come to rely on. Favorite fibers and fabrics of this collection are a new lightweight bamboo “terry”, three Missoni style “crush” fabrics of amazing color combinations, a superb Ponte double-knit that is second to none, and an awesome offering of special Eileen Fisher rayon/LYCRA jerseys. The sweater knits are finely knitted and beyond delicious as are the unique prints. These fabrics are also chosen for their ease of sewing and I am very careful to choose fabrics that are not difficult to handle and encourage alternative ways to sew garments by incorporating many production sewing techniques into my patterns.

Imagine holding the fabric with two hands, stretching it, then letting go.
The snappier the fabric the less wearing ease it will offer. So, if you are using a snappy fabric, your pattern needs to be a bit larger (around) to give more room. If the fabric has soft recovery, a garment will fit larger.
b) Make a sample garment using a knit with similar recovery. c) Choose the pattern size using your upper bust measurement and add to the side seams and pin fit the garment side seams. |
