Hi Adrian. Thank you so much for the video tutorial. I am just trying to learn to sew with knits, and I don’t think I would be able to sew this by written instructions without seeing you make it from the beginning. I have 2 questions please. Where do you get your gorgeous fabric and exactly what type of knit is it? Also when you use interfacing does it have to be one specifically for knit fabrics? Thanks so much😊
Hi Virginia - I live in Canada and order from a variety of online shops here in Canada, this particular floral fabric was from Kenilworth Fabrics in Calgary and it's a cotton lycra french terry. Whereabouts are you located? For interfacing I use standard medium weight woven interfacing - you don't want your interfacing to stretch as its purpose is to prevent the fabric from stretching while you install the zipper and snaps :)
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I would love a cropped zipped hoodie pattern.
I'll keep an eye out and let you know if one of our designer partners has one!
