    Sewing Knits vs Woven Fabrics

    July 15, 2023 /

    Sewing Knits vs Sewing Wovens Sewing knits is slightly more challenging than sewing woven fabrics. For one, knits have varying degrees of stretch. We need to tame the stretch to avoid wavy, and sometimes inaccurate, seams. As long as we aren’t stretching the fabric during sewing, knits can easily be tamed.

    Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack by Sallie Tomato Pattern Review & Strap Variations The Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack by Sallie Tomato is really more of a “belt bag” than a fanny pack, as it is worn across the shoulder rather than over the “fanny.” However, it’s versatile with an adjustable, wide strap that allows you to wear it either way. Using Sulky Poly Deco Thread is recommended on the pattern, and we couldn’t agree with that choice more! The Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack is currently a free pattern (with video!) on the Sallie Tomato site. It can be made from almost any type of fabric, which means it is stash raiding…
