Japanese Fabrics – Jacquard Knits

November 28, 2012

And my shopping list keeps growing. On my next trip I want to buy fabrics that are different. Fabrics I have not bought before, especially knits and linen. I’ve bought a few types of knits before, and I find that it’s still not quite easy to sew with. Or I’m just not really good at it yet. So far I’ve made a couple of skirts which turned out acceptable, and two nightgowns that just stretched way too much at the collar. I’m not sure what went wrong but it could be the type of knit fabric I used.

Then I came across this while “window shopping” online. Jacquard Knits. Looks much easier to sew with? Have you tried?
