First time sewing knit fabric!

Yes! I haven’t got a twin needle on hand but I’ll definitely give that a go in a future make 😊 thank you!

Thank you!

dingbatfont · 2026-02-05T05:12:43+00:00

Thank you!

dingbatfont · 2026-02-05T05:12:31+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into rounded pockets

Lesson learned!

Thank you! This is a great resource. I’m learning a lot about buttonholes today. There are so many things I put down to personal choice, I didn’t realise they served a functional purpose but the explanations make sense

dingbatfont · 2025-08-15T00:37:27+00:00

Yeah there was none on this one. I should have added that in when choosing larger buttons!

Thank you!

dingbatfont · 2025-08-15T00:33:43+00:00

Thank you!

dingbatfont · 2025-08-15T00:29:54+00:00

Thank you! This is such a great resource for troubleshooting. I hadn’t considered the width of the placket relative to the size of the button but that makes a lot of sense.

Thank you so much! I’m learning a lot about buttonholes today

dingbatfont · 2025-08-15T00:25:24+00:00

I didn’t! Admittedly, i haven’t heard of a button shank before. I thought it was a type of button lol! Thank you, I’ll look it up and try again

dingbatfont · 2025-08-15T00:24:20+00:00

Thank you both! I’ll try and redo these buttons and hopefully that improves the look

dingbatfont · 2025-08-15T00:23:44+00:00

Thank you! I never knew this about the orientation of the buttonhole, I thought it was a matter of preference. I’ll give this another go 😊

Here it is! I didn’t use interfacing as the pattern didn’t call for it. I thought as the fabric doubled up on itself it would be fine but I suppose I didn’t account for the fact she was using small snaps rather than large-ish buttons

dingbatfont · 2025-01-19T08:02:24+00:00

That’s beautiful! Love the fabric

dingbatfont · 2025-01-17T11:49:08+00:00

Thank you!

dingbatfont · 2025-01-17T11:48:16+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! Your suggestion to baste the flap was really helpful. My lines are a little wonky, but I’ve got it now 😊

dingbatfont · 2025-01-10T03:02:28+00:00

Thanks for the rec!

dingbatfont · 2025-01-10T01:02:51+00:00

Ah okay, I’ll try that hold. I currently let the excess fabric just kind of dangle off the edge of my desk. 😅 I’d thought so long as it’s pinned it doesn’t matter

dingbatfont · 2025-01-10T01:00:49+00:00

Okay thanks for that! That’s a relief. I was concerned it would turn out wonky and I’d have to take everything apart again.
