Even while I was cutting the fabric I caught myself thinking, "make sure you leave enough to make something else-" GIRL NO 😂 I needed this reminder that it's great to use up every last bit and then say GOODBYE to the fabric I love. Your votes on what fabric to use had me feeling nervous but I'm so happy with the outcome that Julia and I reached! Did you regret any of the vote outcomes? Shall we do this again so you can cast your votes differently? Let us know 👀

The Lutterloh system they were using is also just an amazing piece of equipment. It's not the cheapest but if you look into it it kind of is with how many different things you can make just from the patterns they give you. Can highly recommend it if you are into sewing yourself. All of their patterns can easily be adjusted too and are relatively easy to work with.

Tip for sewing with stretch materials Wendy - when you pin, pin perpandicular to the stitch line, not along it. Not only will it enable you to pull pins out as you go (much faster with no stops!) it will help stop the fabric slipping or shifting along the length of the needle.

I was bonding with a lady from my local fabric store about the enormous fabric obsession that occurs when you are a sewist.

I need to organise a spot where I can see all my fabrics like you, Wendy, or I may be paying rent on a secret storage facility soon enough!

Great to see you both make such gorgeous tops with your left over yardage. Very creative. Love seeing the baby so grown.
