TIPS FOR SEWING WITH SWEATSHIRT FABRICS

When the weather gets cooler, sweatshirt fabric is one of my favourite materials to sew with. Not only does it make for the comfiest clothes, it’s also pretty easy to sew - woohoo! Sweatshirt fabrics - by which I mean sweatshirt fleece, loopback or French terry - generally have a low stretch percentage so, unlike many other knit fabrics, they are easy to cut, handle and stitch without stretching out of shape or creating rippled seams.

This was perfect! I am sewing fabric to the inside of a sweater that I cut a jack-o’-lantern face out of so when I’m done it’ll almost look like I’m wearing a black shirt underneath but it’ll be sewn directly to it and I’m very excited because this video was very helpful

Thank you for this great video! I am about to try my first project with sweatshirt fabric, so I will be following your suggestions carefully to get the best result.

Hi Tilly, thank you for this very informative video, great tips with easy to follow instructions.

Awesome tips. Where did you get the doughnut fabric weights from?

Fantastic tutorial Tilly. I have a Janome and been trying out different stitches before sewing my Billie. I like the lightning stitch the best, what stitch setting do you recommend and pressure foot setting to avoid waves?

Hi I’m going to be making a hoodie dress and was wondering what is the name of the fabric I should get to make it with?

Thanks for the tips! Love the green patterned terry fabric, where can I find that?

[@rorymcmillan9219]

Great tips Tilly! I have a question about the decal on the blue sweatshirt - did you make it yourself (like with a Cricut) or is that something that can be bought or downloaded? I love it!!!

Hi Rory, it was made with Happy Fabric iron-on vinyl using a machine to cut them out. We had it as a free gift for our newsletter subscribers when purchasing our new Billie pattern, and we don't have any available to buy separately I'm afraid x

That was great. How about a new pattern for a cardigan with normal sleeves. Not crazy about the bat sleeves on the bertha. I imagine you could do a lovely one.
