fuzzygalore said... Thanks! I had missed the re-issue of that pattern, and I'm a P&P fan from way back, their advice has always been spot-on.
Really like your sweatshirt fabric, it does make a jacket that's the perfect balance of SF casual and professional (but not too much). Just what I was looking for :-).
Bummer about the bias finish.. And actually you don't need to finish sweatshirting at all for functional reasons, but the lavender seems like a very nice decorative touch. 5/4/11 4:49 AM
