Finally





I'm finally sewing again!

But I need help, I'm not used to sew in stretch fabric, so I don't know how to finish the neckline. It's some kind of medium-weight(?) knitted fabric. Does anybody know? Should I attach a bias tape? I want to finish it now now now!!

  2. You can use stretchy bias tape, but I find it difficult. I always use underwear elastic and finish the neckline the same way they finish the, er, leg holes of basic cotton panties.

  3. I love the fabric! I've only sewn with knits a couple of times, so I don't really know much about them. I usually cut a strip of fabric, fold it in half and sew it around the neckline. It's the method from the Kimono tee on BurdaStyle - it describes it much better than I just did :)

  4. Jag tycker infodring är väldigt fint och det skulle nog passa på det mönstriga tyget. Kopiara halsringningen från kanten och ner ca sju cm, glöm inte att pressa mellanlägg på den! Sy räta mot räta och vik in. Ibland kan man behöva sy en stödstickning om den viker sig uppåt, annars kan man nästa fast den på plagget med osynliga handstygn i infodringens nedkant.
