This week's fabric haul comes with mixed emotions as I am not thrilled about sewing with knits.
These projects, with the exception of the linen animal print, will help me to embrace knits, and I might be encouraged to include more in my sewing plans.
Hopefully, the serger will get used in the process of creating these garments.

I pre-washed my wool fabric and it shrank 6" lengthwise. Glad that I washed it before sewing with it. When I learned how dirty fabric is, I started washing everything. Since I only sew with natural fibers, I make sure that I get things right the first time because linen and wool is not cheap.

[@cookeka]

Yes, great habit and I agree. Linen and wool are expensive fabric. I don't normally wash my wool and linen. I dry clean those. I wanted to do the same for the ponted but was not willing to waste money on something I could do but it should have been done first. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching.

[@RoseGold...]

@@cookeka Just curious, most dress pants have a large hem allowance. Do you have enough hem on your pants to extend the length?

[@culturedpurl4470]

Love love love the Simplicity very casual half zio dress! Its perfect for everyday wear , for running to the store, for meeting friends for a casual lunch / coffee It has more panache than a simple T shirt dress, Love that pattern, its a must try!

[@cookeka]

Thank you so much for your feedback. I can tell from your recommendation that it's been a great choice for you. I will definitely try it.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

Karon, you have the most lovely ideas for pattern and fabric matching! You always inspire me❤. So sorry to hear your favorite pants shrunk😕. After I open new fabric I surge the cut edges, tie off and into the laundry it goes. Don’t be discouraged with knits, it does take some practice. For knit dressier pants I always surge the edges of all the seams without trimming anything off before sewing any seams. Sew my final seams with a small 0.5 /2.5 zigzag stitch and press open. I often use a twin needle for the hem. Once you get more comfortable with your serger it is life changing!😊

[@cookeka]

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, it means a lot to me. I anxiously awaiting the day my serger and I share a great relationship.🙂

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

@ Of course! I was afraid of my serger too. In fact I left it in the box for months🤦🏻‍♀️. Just serging my new fabric before washing gave me lots of practice to the sound, feel and cadence of it. Now I couldn’t sew without one!

[@cookeka]

@donnaschindlbeck7457 That is awesome 🙂

[@Sew_Lorina]

Beautiful fabric and pattern choices

[@cookeka]

Thank you.

[@deborahtate7763]

Karen, please give the water soluble tape from Wawak, for your dress pattern with the zipper. I know you have the skill to go for it. I will anxiously wait and watch for your garment. Thank you for producing such wonderful videos each week, without fail. Can you post, where you shop for your buttons.

[@cookeka]

Deborah, thank you for the suggestion. It will be useful once zipper I am ready to sew the dress. I appreciate your support! I purchased my buttons from JoAnn and Mood Fabrics.com.

[@unsewcial]

Loving that yellow zebra print Karon!

[@cookeka]

Thanks, Kris. I do too.

[@loribarton7480]

Hi Karin. I’m going to be making 2 of those patterns also.

[@cookeka]

Awesome Lori. I am excited for you and wish you a happy sewing experience rewarded by beautiful pieces.

[@GarmentofPraiseSewing]

If ever I get the urge to sew before washing I don’t put the garment in the dryer I let it hang dry. The majority of the shrinkage occurs when drying.

[@cookeka]

I totally agree that the dryer will shrink your garments.

[@Catlud12-sx6iw]

Half the fashion ads today are showing ankle length pants with heels!!

[@cookeka]

Yes, but I won't wear bell foot ankle pants. I am not ready for that at this point.😀

[@gmurray3616]

I have heard you talk about purchasing fabric from Moods, which I believe is on-line shopping. Are they true to the fabric described on their website.

[@cookeka]

I have had great experiences with their fabric. You may need to view the fabric on two sources to see the true color as various devices may show a different view.

[@gmurray3616]

@cookeka I'm a touchy/ feel fabric shopper. I check color/print with my skin tone. But I'm willing to give it a try. I used to watch Project Runway and the contestants shopped at Mooxs.
