Has anyone made the batwing dress in cotton jersey and struggled with the neckline? And would anyone agree that the pattern would be best suited to perhaps viscose jersey or polyester jersey? I’m so disappointed with the result of my attempt and I did use good quality fabric.

Thank you for your reply. I did use a cotton jersey originally…….and I think that was the problem, it was too thick! It was actually some that I bought from HYSC in the spring of this year. The dress fitted really well, I have a mannekin, make a toile and I’ve sewn for decades…….it was that pattern that fazed me. I’ve done further research on it since and sourced softy, drapier, jersey with more viscose than cotton and achieved 100% success, in fact I am getting so many orders I can’t make them fast enough. This pattern is obviously not suited to heavier cotton jerseys that are quite expensive.

I’m making a couple of Christmas stockings ,do you think I can use Debbie’s craft fleece wadding can be used in them or is it a bit to stiff. Thanks Marilyn

You can certainly use the fleece! I don't think it will be too stiff...

So sorry that was missed off! You'll need about 66" of binging, 1!" or 0.75" will be fine

There was no live on Saturday as Debbie was a guest on Sewing Street where she launched a new fabric.

Hi sewing friends. Can anyone tell me how to adjust the measurements for a bucket hat to make an extra large for my son. All the large patterns I have found aren't wide enough in circumference and I dont know how to make the brim the right size. Thank you so much.

Try increasing the printer settings which increase it all in proportion . Again try a mock up, even just paper sellotaped together.

Apparently Debbie is at Sewing Street this morning according to Jan.
