Thanks so much, I will have lots of question as I pick up my fall/winter sewing.

Thanks for the comment.  I had actually thought today that maybe I might be stretching it too much.  This is my first time (that I can remember) ever combining a knit with a fabric that has no give at all.  After sewing for more than 25 years, you think I'd have made something like this before! Anyway, it bothered me all day about why that dress bulged and puckered and stuck out like that....the pic should show up soon, so please see if that's what it is in your opinion.  Thanks again!

Hello Sherri,

I think that you may be stretching the fabric too much, but will wait for your photos to be sure. Stretch fabric seams going across the body can be tricky.

I have a BIG question.  I am making my DD a maxi dress.  She is pregnant and so I made the top out of stretchy knit jersey, and the bottom is out of a beautiful fabric that is lightweight, flowy, etc.  When I attach the bottom to the top, I stretch the portion of the bodice to make it accommodate the fabric for the bottom.  It is made to fit under her breasts.  When I stretch and sew the bottom to the top, it sticks out bad.  I will post a pic but would be SO happy if someone would tell me this is how I should expect it to look, or if I'm doing something wrong.  THANKS!!!

Delete Comment            Hi, I'm making a lot of childrens clothes and am totally in love with Heather Bailey Cotton Fabric.  I love the designs but mostly the softness and quality of the fabric.  Can anyone recommend any other fabric's that are of a similar quality. (weight, softness).  Some of the other designer fabrics I get just seem paper thin.  The Heather Bailey fabric washes, and washes and doesn't fade or look worn.  Thanks
