I got a little carried away buying this fabric and now I don't know what to do with it! After shipping costs and customs charges it was really expensive but I think its super cute and too scared to commit to cutting something out.<br />
<br />
Originally brought (online) with intention to make a simple blouse but its much heavier than anticipated, more like canvas.<br />

I only have a 1 yard, any ideas? I was thinking maybe using it in a dress with contrasting skirt or top, or some sort of structured top. It's…

Any idea would be great, I'm completely stuck! London Sewing Meet uptag:circle.sewweekly.com,2013-04-10:6365347:Topic:1743292013-04-10T02:00:54.387ZHelenhttp://circle.sewweekly.com/profile/HelenMS

<p>Hi, I wasn't sure if anyone has seen this show, but it's absolutely wonderful. Okay, and I'm in love with the fashion on the show.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what would be a similar pattern to this dress with the round neckline?</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I really like this item that is not available from Shabby Apple anymore (not that I could afford it with their international postage...). Anyway, I haven't come across a pattern that looks like this, so I thought maybe some of you would have suggestions?</p>

<p>I need some advice badly. I want to start sewing thin fabric like those chiffon, sheer see through kind. But don't know what thread to use. I ordered a size 8 needle already, but the thread I have seems too thick for it and it puckers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please help.</p>
<p>What type of thread do I need? There are so many kind and I have no idea what to get. Maybe a thin kind, but which one is thin?</p>
<p>Polyester? Spun poly? I have no clue. Usually I just buy whatever color matches…</p>

<p>Hello! It's been a while since I've posted around these parts - things tend to get a little hectic with me! Some of you might remember when I initially posted about the Seamless Pledge about a year ago. It's basically a challenge along the same lines as Wardrobe Refashion - in that you don't buy any new clothes for a set period of time.</p>

<p>The blog was due a bit of a spring clean, but I'm also trying to get together a group of people who are willing to take part in a little project I've got planned. I'm keeping details schtum for the moment, but you can check out a bit more about it here: <a href="http://seamlessblog.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/seamless-needs-you/" target="_blank">http://seamlessblog.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/seamless-needs-you/</a></p>
<p>Hope everyone's sewing is going well! I'm having a bit of a dry period at the moment, but I did finish off a skirt last week so I guess I deserve a bit of a break!</p>
