I took advantage of two very wet days and got a sweatshirt made. It shouldn't have taken that long but I cut up a plain T shirt that I had managed to make with the stretch going the wrong way for the neckband, raglan seams and cuffs. As it was quite a bit thinner than the main fabric I used it double and it seemed to fight back all the way. I also used my coverstitch machine for only the second time. The intention was to do a double line of topstitching down the raglan strips but I ended up after 4 attenpts just doing a line of ordinary machine stitching as it didn't need the stretch. I just couldn't manage to follow the narrow strip and keep the stitching from wandering off it. Combination I think of dark thread on dark fabric, poor lighting and eyesight not as good as I think it is.
Fabric is the result of temptation from someone on here who posted a link to Lamazi Fabrics
you know who you are! It's called Cotton Terry but I would call it sweatshirt fabric (brushed back). It's lovely weight and quality and I just loved the cats. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
