How is it that one can buy two pieces of fabric from the same store at the same time on bolts that are sitting in the same section and have such different quality of fabric?!??!
The first one out of the green/blue was divine to work with. This one... not so much. It was thinner, it almost seemed to pill as I worked with it. The bias for the pocket and yoke were SO stretchy that it was ridiculous.
But it's done, and it fits, and it'll last through this season anyway.
Ottobre 6/2013 #17 "Forest" with collar and cuffs - size 128 with 1/4 inch seam allowances. Next time go back to 1cm or 1/2 inch seam allowances! 1/4 inch was too small to work with on this!!
Very nice shirt! It looks like one my boys would enjoy wearing.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed anomalies in fabric like that, too. Sometimes two of the same fabrics in different colors will have a noticeable quality difference.
