Suggested fabric

Choose a supple woven fabric, light to medium in weight. As far as fibers are concerned, cotton, silk, wool, Tencel etc. are all appropriate. You can opt for crepe or poplin, as well as a flannel that is not too thick or even trying chambray! Be careful with the more slippery and the very thin fabrics, which are more difficult to sew on and that are not recommended for beginners.

TUTO – The tearproof tab

Several of our new patterns this season contain tearproof tabs : the Prague blouse, at the top of the center back and at the cuffs, and the Bristol dress, at the cuffs. This step requires you to be accurate and thorough, but once you get the idea, it is not that hard. Here are a few video tips to make sure you get a great result.
