Katharine in BXL said... OMG, you made 20! What a production! Thx for the tip on this great pattern. Most of us are heading for winter so it's welcome news. Yesterday it snowed for 4 hours here in the Netherlands! Is that leopard print fleece? It looks more like a faux fur. Very snazzy! 10/25/03 3:42 AM

MaryBeth said... I'm loving seeing these Green Pepper reviews you've done. The line drawings at the pattern site are so utilitarian that I don't think of fashion fabrics like leopard prints. Thanks for bringing this pattern company up for us to see. 10/25/03 9:22 AM

SouthernStitch said... Wow, how snazzy! I have some polar cheetah print... great idea here, thanks, oh and btw yours looks just great! 10/26/03 8:43 AM
clc said... These look great, Janie. Did you use a serger or a sewing machine to make these? If sewing machine, which stitch did you use? 10/26/03 10:14 AM
Janie Viers said... I used my straight stitch for all seams except the zig zag to flatten the seams. They advocate a "stretch" stitch, but I have found that If I stretch the fabric as I sew a long straight stitch works great (I have used a zig zag that was the smalled one I could get, and it looked much like a regular straight stitch)
As far as using my serger....why bother. The darn fleece dulls the blades on the serger that it isn't worth it. Plus I do like less thread rather than more thread when sewing polar fleece 10/27/03 6:10 PM
