That fabric is probably the most gorgeous floral print I've seen Amy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---sneak-peek---floral-dress-im-sewing#post-595121 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:07:32 +0000 Amy 595121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone You're too kind!</p> <p>AJ, a hand-picked zipper is a method of sewing in the zipper by hand, which leaves small, evenly spaced stitches visible on the right-side of the fabric all along the zipper. My stitches won't be all that visible because the pattern is busy, and I plan on using thread that blends, but it's a technique I've decided I need to learn. There's a couple of pictures below...#1 plain, #2 with beads (I wonder if that's uncomfortable to lean back on?)</p> <p>Parley, there are a couple of nice local fabric stores here, where I get most of my fabric. I'm embarrassed to admit that I got this at Joann's, which usually has low-quality fabric, but I like this quite a bit. I also shop at gorgeousfabrics.com, which Una is using ffor her bespoke suit, fabric.com and fabricmart.com. If you don't have a good local store, by all means, shop online. You can request/order swatches from most places. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---sneak-peek---floral-dress-im-sewing#post-595103 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:16:11 +0000 Kristin L 595103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks spectacular!
