 Hey guys, it's Lindsay here today I'm here to talk about one of my favorite things fabric and as we said in our swatch video on Tuesday Stylemaker fabrics has launched her fall collection and to help celebrate She's hosting a huge blog tour featuring some of my favorite bloggers And I'm so thrilled to be a part of it as you saw in the swatch video Michelle has sourced some amazing fabrics for fall It was really so hard for me to choose my fabrics for this video But after I got my hands on buttocks 6 3 8 8 I knew I needed a sweater knit for this dress So I found a jacquard double knit and I knew it would be the perfect sweater dress The fabric itself is super soft to the touch like it's just one of those sweater knits That's really really cozy and soft and just makes you want to like cuddle up with it It does not have a lot of stretch to it as you can see which is fine for a sweater dress It's not supposed to be super form-fitting You really just need enough stretch to kind of you know move around get it on over your head Because there's no zippers or you know any any of that any of those kinds of notions There's also quite a bit of drape in this fabric Well quite a bit for a sweater knit I would say but I think it's really nice to have a little bit of drape in a sweater knit It obviously makes a really great sheath dress that just kind of floats over the body It's not too form-fitting, but it would also make a really great dress that has a gathered skirt Or some kind of like blousing in the bodice Some final notes on this fabric I just wanted to say that it pressed really well really easily with Some moderate heat and steam and it also just really sewed up really well Even the top stitching on the back yoke and on the sleeves I feel like turned out really nice with this fabric Finally this fabric is 63 inches wide which is just crazy It didn't shrink up a time when I pre-washed it I had a ton left over Despite ordering exactly what the pattern called for so keep that in mind whenever you're ordering your yardage a Few notes on the pattern. I had to take in the waist by almost six inches to get this shape This was after grating between sizes as I usually do also the neckline is not intended to be this baggy I had a whoopsie daisy and took it in at the shoulders and forgot to adjust the collar It's a little short for my taste, but I think it'll look great with leggings I'd also like to note that it's still 90 degrees here in Charleston So just getting outside in this sweater dress to film was all the heat I could handle But I'll post pictures with the dress style with leggings later this week when I travel up north to Quebec City Where the high is like in the 60s Okay, so next up is this adorable top I used butteric 6 3 7 5 for this one and really love the way it turned out the fabric is a ray on crepe It does have some texture to it Which is one of my favorite things about a crepe actually the pattern really needed a fabric with a lot of drape But still maintained its structure You can't tell but there is so much detail in this pattern from the way the sleeves are constructed to the Asymmetrical pleat on the front and that self drafted pleated belt The fabric held up beautifully to all the detailing it pressed really well and was really easy to sew Naturally, it was a little shifty when I was cutting out my pattern But it didn't move much on me at all when I was sewing The juxtaposition of the structured belt and the cascading pleat detail is so beautiful to me And I'm so impressed with this fabric that it was able to live up to each of those qualities And can we talk about the floral print for a minute? Isn't it gorgeous? I love how big the flower clusters are and the coloring is so beautiful with the mix of pinks Lavender and greens all set on this gorgeous aubergine background.
