I admire your sewing talent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room/page/2#post-2346192 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 16:36:44 +0000 JP 2346192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shirt and fabric. It's good to see that quilting cotton works so well for making a shirt. Joann is getting better with fabric selection, I use mood fabrics' chat option and I tell them what I want to make (pattern info) and they are very helpful in finding the right fabrics for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2346189 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 16:20:54 +0000 Donna 2346189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shirt!

Roberta, I did get to Vogue a few times when my daughter lived in Evanston and bought some things. I loved going there! They also had booths at quilt shows and always had the most unique quilt fabrics. I do wish they, and other general fabric stores, were more accessible!&nbsp; </p> <p>I will take a look at their website, for sure.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345801 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 22:52:47 +0000 Olive Green 2345801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you cjh, my friend is also having trouble finding non-quilting fabric IRL.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345788 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 19:11:12 +0000 Kyle 2345788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finding great garment fabric is really tough these days.

Lovely shot of dopamine and I love the cut too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345769 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 16:05:02 +0000 Suz 2345769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice shirt! The colour and pattern are great on you. And definitely a shot of dopamine!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345763 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:03:55 +0000 Roberta 2345763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so cute and beautifully executed! I used to love wandering the aisles of the fabric store, petting the fabrics. I shopped at the amazing Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, which closed its landmark location last year and moved to a much smaller spot. You could find such gorgeous remnants there too.</p> <p>I suppose most sewists are ordering online these days. I know you can get samples, but its not the same as seeing the bolt, is it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345761 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:00:53 +0000 Mirjana 2345761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful shirt, great fit, perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345758 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 14:49:41 +0000 Dee 2345758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, fun pattern.

I think I will really enjoy this top. I got the fabric at Joann a couple years ago. It’s out of stock now, unless you come across it in a local store maybe.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.joann.com/floral-on-orange-novelty-quilt-cotton-fabric-by-keepsake-calico/18204982.html">https://www.joann.com/floral-o.....04982.html</a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a similar one, also out of stock.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.joann.com/blue-floral-cotton-fashion-apparel-fabric/18565564.html">https://www.joann.com/blue-flo.....65564.html</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Both are “quilting cottons” and I have to say i have found it extremely difficult to find garment fabric locally and I’m skittish about ordering online since I can’t see or feel the product. It also is hard to tell if the fabric descriptions online follow the traditional definitions that I learned long ago when I learned to sew.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345742 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 13:23:11 +0000 Kim M 2345742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yes, a holy grail of sewing.&nbsp; I'm so glad you found something that hits all of those points.&nbsp; Fine print matching in front.&nbsp; I like the bit of fullness in the sleeves.&nbsp; I usually go for less basic, then when I need a basic I'm out of luck.&nbsp; Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345740 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 13:13:50 +0000 NancyW 2345740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great to find a pattern that works for you. I like the length and I am all about ease! The collar is so flattering and the fabric will be a tonic in the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345739 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 12:47:43 +0000 Ginger 2345739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great cut!

It looks great on you! And in other fabrics it will look like a different blouse entirely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-dopamine-fresh-from-the-sewing-room#post-2345715 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:31:05 +0000 slim cat 2345715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great fit and fun color/print!
