That pink is a very pretty colour on you, but I would agree not for leggings/pants where they'll blend in completely.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984025469026273694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-67121843662770194872021-03-22T10:44:14.083-07:002021-03-22T10:44:14.083-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jessica L.

The secret to choosing a knit fabric with the right amount of stretch is to do a stretch test of the fabric to see if it matches the pattern requirements. For example, if the pattern calls for a fabric with 75% stretch, which is a very stretchy fabric, then a 4” piece of the knit should easily stretch to 7” when stretched along the weft; a fabric with 35% should stretch to approximately 5.5”, etc. Even when the fabric matches the stretch required by the pattern, if you are unhappy with the “recovery” of the fabric (does the fabric return to the original 4”?), move on! Otherwise, you will have a garment that turns into a bag every time it is worn! Enjoy exploring knits. As one who always preferred sewing with more stable fabrics, I have learned so much and stretched (pun intended) my sewing abilities as a result!PBHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242091376920660689noreply@blogger.com
