Georgene said... Hey! I'm glad someone picked up on that tricot lining tip...(BTW Do you have a feature on the photo program that you use to adjust the brightness? I find that for dark clothing it helps to bump up the brightness - the photo washes out a bit, but at least you can see the details.) I hope I get to see you at PR weekend in November with this toasty top. 10/15/05 8:03 PM

Danvillegirl said... What is your source for spandex tricot? Sounds like I missed a good tip here. I like the fabric, missed this one on my many internet trips to Vogue fabrics. 10/16/05 7:00 AM
licarritc said... Yeah! Georgene you're coming so I can indulge in some idol worship!
Linda L, I got the Tricot from Trim Fabrics for like $1 a yard so of course I bought all 20something yards. I got it because I was going to be making stuff in stretch wovens and it seemed pointless to use standard lining and lose the stretch but Georgene showed a fabulous jacket at PR Weekend last year and now I use it even in stuff that isn't stretch. Voila, linings aren't to tight anymore and don't rip out so I actually put them in, in the first place. I also don't have to be perfect in my hand sewing, man I hate hand sewing! 10/16/05 8:52 AM
AnneM said... I like that collar. Congrats on working with the sweater knit. Perhaps I will look for some lycra tricot at PR weekend. :) 11/2/05 4:24 AM
MaryBeth said... This looks very nice on you. Good work in adding the cowl: I like that style. I hope that you'll do more with this pattern, it seems to work so well for you. I hope you can add the cardigan as well. 11/2/05 7:16 AM
