I`ve just taken delivery of this and it`s currently in the washing machine

I`m aiming to make McCalls 7538 view D which I have used before but I need a slighter bigger version!

I`m pleased with the fabric but it is most definitely bumpy and I`m wondering if that will cause me problems.  Any thoughts?  I don`t have an overlocker so most of the seams will be zig-zagged

@sewingj , that is very very nice...

Oh I do like that fabric.

I would have thought if you take it steadily it should zig zag fine.

That's going to be a lovely dress @sewingj. Zig zagging the edges should be fiine.

The website description says it's a dream to sew  so you should be fine. Great looking fabric and so cheap - I'm tempted!

Will you be matching up the ridges on pieces you are joining? The only thing that occurred to me was that the ridge on one piece might slide into the "ditch" on the other. If so, you would either need lots of pins or perhaps tacking. Well worth the effort - it's lovely. Look forward to seeing the finished garment.

@Greybird  I'm not sure. There are lots of pieces and I think that if I match one bit that'll un-match another.  I've got plenty of fabric so I will see what I can do
