Time to sew summer clothes! I retired a number of skirts and dresses, so I need to make more.
I found this cute simple knit at JoAnne’s, it is 90% rayon, which means it feels so soft and lovely. Being a natural fiber, it will be comfortable in the heat.
It is a little harder to handle than cotton knits, but a little extra time is worth it. 
I don’t like only using my serger, I find that the seams do open up, so I sewed the seams first on my regular machine. I used a specialty thread that has some Lycra-stretch to it. Well, that didn’t work at all. I don’t buy Clarks thread, but I bought this one, never again.
So I went back to the regular thread and the fine zigzag stitch. Not everything new is better than the tried and true.
I LOVE knit dress, comfortable, pretty and they aren’t restricting at all.
Now I need to pay a serious visit to Mood in search of more summer fabrics.
