Marking patterns continues to pose a challenge but especially on knit fabrics. My marking pencils and chalk quite often don't show up, or have disappeared when I need them most. My solution, using these page reinforcement circles. It's easy to mark circles, squares and all the other pattern markings, and they are such a time saver too.
The TNT pattern turned into this top with bell sleeves. The simple pattern design was just right for this sequin-like fabric. I think that when the fabric is fancy the design should be simple. Well at least that's what works for me.
This shiny new top was just the thing that I needed to give this suit that I've had for several years an added lift.
I've been trying to get to the weekend - I'm almost there!
I like the sleeves on that top, too. I don't work with knits much. I like wearing knit tops and they are quick to sew, but can be a pain to lay out and cut.
