LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS MONTH’S THEME >

Terra Cotta Cotton Spandex Jersey - The Ringer Tee has strong seventies vibes, so we knew we wanted to use earth tones somehow. Then we found this rich terra cotta hue and we needed to look no further. Rich and earthy, this fabric has a golden sunset color that makes us want to watch Dazed and Confused and wear bell bottoms. Add the fact that the fabric itself is our favorite t-shirt knit, and we're ready to make our new favorite top for easy summer wear. Are you?
White Laguna Jersey - We're doing something a little bit different this month and sending you PFD fabric. "Prepared for Dye" means it is the perfect canvas for the ice dye kit we are sending this month. The fabric itself is medium weight with amazing stretch and recovery. Basically our favorite T-shirt knit that you can transform into a hand-dyed shirt or keep as a white tee to wear with everything!

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.
