From my fabric stash..
I'm joining Mikes "share your fabric stash" this week.
I brought this from a little op-shop in Benalla last year. I have about 3 meters of it. I would love to make a dress out of it but I'm a little scared of sewing with stretchy fabrics.
Fantastic fabric! You'll be able to make something really great if you have 3 metres. (I did a 1-day "stretch sewing" course at the CAE in the city, which was really good - it made me a lot more confident about sewing the stretchy stuff and helped me understand how to attach bindings and stuff).
Oh that's gorgeous! I think the SEW-U stretch book and a stretch needle for your machine would be a good start! You are really great at making stuff! So have a little practice and jump in!

That's a lovely pattern Claire! You're welcome to borrow my overlocker if you ever need to, it makes sewing strectch stuff so much easier!

That's so gorgeous! I have the same stretch sewing fear....a course sounds great.

lovely shades in that fabric...I think it would make a wonderful (and comfy) skirt - go on have a go!
