Having recently discovered the worlds of online fabric ordering, am expanding my fabric stash and my closet. As I enjoy wearing cotton knits, your knowledgeable post has encouraged me to try others. Perhaps a rayon ... that would tempt me. As for a sewing hero/heroine, agree that bloggers such as yourself really inspire. Thank you so much for this series!CurlsnSkirlshttp://CurlsnSkirls.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-73886016792765594512012-09-25T09:47:45.919+01:002012-09-25T09:47:45.919+01:00I went to a Madame Grés exhibition in Paris last s...I went to a Madame Grés exhibition in Paris last summer, needless to say it was fantastic!

They didn't ravel, or fade, or ever ever ever wear out. All they did was absorb body odor and hold sweat and heat against one until the point of passing out. NOT a fan of non-jersey kanits for sewing.LinBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-66570635005482983632012-09-24T22:08:06.649+01:002012-09-24T22:08:06.649+01:00I have been experimenting sewing with various kind...I have been experimenting sewing with various kinds of knits. My favorite, because of the drape, is rayon jersey. I have some sweater knits in my stash that I am going to use to make some winter cardigans and I like using baby rib knit for casual shirts. As for sewing heroes, I appreciate learning from Claire Schaeffer books and sewing bloggers!Sharinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-35995268570199123032012-09-24T21:35:51.043+01:002012-09-24T21:35:51.043+01:00Ooh, I like knits!

I never get excited about sewing with them, but the knit garments I've made have gotten the most wear of anything in my handmade wardrobe by a long shot. I'm not sure I have a sewing hero, so to speak, but I sure get lots of inspiration from other sewing bloggers like you!Gingerhttp://gingermakes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-44992414312881070032012-09-24T21:22:00.371+01:002012-09-24T21:22:00.371+01:00Debi I have never been a ka-nit lover either, but ...Debi I have never been a ka-nit lover either, but then I discovered merino jersey, fabric of the Goddesses. I LOVE it so much. It is nice to sew and I am building up a few pieces with it. So warm too. I detest synthetics, even the feel of them makes me feel like I am being suffocated, images of being wrapped tightly in plastic cling film haunt me. So merino is fabulous. And it drapes. But I am still not sure if it is readily available in the Northern Hemisphere too. If it is, chances are it came from Down Under! :)MrsChttp://www.amamus-amatis-amant.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
