Cynthia Rowley Knit Dress : Materials

So sorry guys to put you guys off for a couple of days. I got sick at the beginning of the week and have had a couple of crazy days with my baby and just got sidetracked. But I am ready to get going. Usually I try to finish a project a month ahead of posting it, but this month I am going to be sewing right along with you. So let's all go get our materials and we will cut out our fabric tomorrow.


What you will need:

- 1 7/8 yards of 60" knit fabric (most knits are wide like this, but if not just get double the amount of yardage)(also, if you are doing stripes like me get more for matching)
- 12" invisible zipper (even if you don't have an invisible zipper foot I am going to show you how to put one in with a normal zipper foot)
- all purpose thread
- ball point needle
- 1 1/4 yards of lightweight fusible interfacing

see you tomorrow!

Next Month's Pattern : Simplicity 2443

As Rian mentioned in an earlier email she will be taking a break for a little while as she tends to the needs of her family. As a result you are going to hear a lot from me over the next few months. And I am excited because I have so many patterns that I have been dying to try.



For the month of July I decided to tackle one of things that has always scared me : knits.

We will be doing a couple of short tutorials, but the main pattern that we will be tackling is Cynthia Rowley's knit dress pattern 2443. I have loved it from the first time I saw it and am so excited to get started. Plus, my mother gave me some awesome nautical striped knit fabric from her stash that she has had since I was born.


So, get your patterns and fabric and get ready for next month. See you then.
