Sewing With Knits: 5 Wardrobe Essentials »

Instructions

Such a joy to sew! Easy, fast and the result is really stunning!
Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Traditional, Classic, Cute, Casual

Materials

A very soft and warm gray fleece

What was your inspiration?

Always wanted to make my own clothes but with woven fabric it's such a long process so I was very intrigued by sewing with knits! I'm now hooked!

What are you most proud of?

The finishing, it looks like a sweater from the stores!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Do start with the fleece hoodie first, the other lighter fabric are a bit more challenging.

Thank you! I used a warm and soft gray cotton fleece! I bought the fabric at a local sewing store. I live in Geneva, Switzerland so if you're from that area I'll be happy to give you the address!

I went to Mondial Tissu in Ville-la-Grand near Annemasse. They have a good selection and it's way cheaper than in Switzerland!
