Black Trainers Fleece - A classic sweatshirt fleece, this fabric has become our go-to for loungewear. The brushed back of the fabric is soft and snuggly, and because the fabric on the thinner side, it will be a great transitional piece to wear as the days get cooler. The cotton gives it a nice sturdiness, while a bit of spandex ensures that your makes are flexible and wearable. In a classic black, it's the epitome of a versatile snuggly fabric!
Cable Embossed Quilted Jersey - With raised, knit cables on one side and a smooth back on the other, this fabric will add depth and complexity to this funnel neck pattern. Medium weight, with a soft, yet slightly structured drape, this knit gives the illusion of a cable sweater with all the coziness of a jersey. A combo we can get behind!
Peacock Green Ribbed Stripe - This fabric is a delightful double knit. The outside is a ribbed textured, mimicking stripes, which the inside is a lovely fleece. A rayon polyester blend, it has strength and smoothness, making it a wonderfuly cozy knit. In a deep, lush green, it is just the right amount of color, if you ask us. A wonderful, sweater-ready knit!

Comfy pullover

Easy pattern to sew and very warm. Not a flattering price but great to relax in.

Fabric quality for the boxes is excellent. Informational tutorials can be found online

Love the pattern

I love this pattern. It isn't a good one for beginners due to the lack of clear instructions. It also doesn't really tell you the width of bias binding to use -- odd! -- good thing bias tape comes in the kit. The garment itself is comfortable and flexible but the amount of fabric given seemed pretty skimpy this month.

struggling

I am not exactly a beginner but someone who needs more sewing experiences. This kit is frustrating me more than stretching me: e.g., I prefer tissue patterns for flexibility, manageability, elimination of steps (tracing); am finding red ink hard to read on the instruction; the English translation and abbreviations takes some figuring out (it can be done but why so challenging?); metric measurements also need translating (from instruction to pattern to sewing machine); the fabric is super slinky for someone still feeling her way. I could use a secondary Needle-sharp written tutorial to avoid confusion and frustration. I am only just beginning the sewing part so results remain to be seen . . .if it doesn't turn out useable I will really be ticked.

Lovely pattern and fabric combination

Great pattern and fabric. I love that you do all the main decisions for me! I little disappointed in the amount of elastic thread supplied-definitely needed more than one spool. Also, the fabric is very shear; it really needed a lining on the bodice. So, I did have to go to my local fabric store to get more supplies to finish.
