I avoided knits for most of my sewing life, but now I have my overlocker, I couldn't do without them.  One or 2 have defeated me [those uber slinky, crinkly, lovely textured ones are impossssssssssible to hem] but most are fab.
For super comfort and recoverablility [and ease of sewing] I highly recommend Frumble Fabrics' 'premium jersey'

Tia Knight seem to have a lot of lightweight 100% cotton jersey, and it's cheap!

Doesn't half stretch though!

I'm really pleased I don't have to contend with beading or chiffon  Marnie, - that'd drive me mad.

 Progress thus far after lengthy consideration and gin - I recuperated  peach colour frills from the shortening of other dresses. ( Set of dresses are peach and green - with both colours on each dress )  I have a peach coloured remnant enough to make the bodice .   I need 4 frills to make the dress  similar to the others and I need 2 peach and 2 green. I've managed to piece together the donuts in green using the bits of shortened underskirts taken from the dresses I shortened - like a bloody jigsaw puzzle. All I have to think about now is where do I find something to make the skirt base. Found a recuperated zippier in my emergency box. Getting there.

I took another photo  the other colour was maroon, I liked the blue better, I never used to wear blue until recently.  Pattern match? That was a happy accident

Im confused I thought I had posted ... seeable ... pics of both hearts yesterday ... Ah well the ghost in the machine



linky

Two hearts done and I have to get on with the quarters now ... Has anyone an opinion on how to place the HST's ???
