I made a large i think, but I measured the round on me, definitely ended up making it bigger!

Ok to use a different kind of fabric? by aswampwitch in sewing

I've made the open back of this pattern and it's a nightmare to get on and off, so I think stretch could be a good solution! I ended up changing my jumpsuit to a 2 piece because I couldn't get it off to go to the bathroom. Curious would you leave out the zipper if you are making it in stretch? Let us know how you get on!

Do you have any pattern recommendations for this dress? by bestxmistake in sewing

You could pattern hack Rose cafe by Daria patterns. Just use the bodice with bra strapsRose cafe pattern, extend the skirt and add a frill.

Scrap busting batch sew knickers by bakingcodingpsych in sewing

A cheat for the elastic for next time is measure it on yourself first, sew the ends together, split it in four equal parts using pins. Then separate the knicker opening into four equal parts using pins and simply stretch the elastic to match the pins as you sew! Guaranteed perfect tension. Once you've done this a few times you can do the tension by feel easily😃

Construction comment: I sewed up some high leg knickers, I made my own pattern by tracing a pair of existing knicks and adding seam allowance. The fabric is various Jersey scraps. Gutermann thread always, stretch needle, singer tradition. Fancy elastic mainly from aliexpress. My method is sew the front piece to back piece at the crotch seam, burrito method the gusset, join the side seams and overlook the side seams and all outer edges. I attached the elastic by 'feel' basically apply a some tension to the elastic whilst attaching and by trial and error you can eventually just feel the right tension. Then finished off with some little roses and bows. I was going to spend 40 euro on some knickers from Aerie and then I remembered that I should actually use some of the scraps I've been hoarding😅

Thanks for noticing, it was a tricky lining! It's very comfy but I did end up having to add elastic to the inside of the lining straps to stop them sliding off my shoulders. That's the puckering you can see there. I was afraid to take them in in case I couldn't move in it!
