Just remember to cut the cowl on the bias (as the pattern indicates). It takes a lot of fabric but it makes the fit around the chest just fabulous. I've posted about this dress on my blog.

Thanks for linking to my red dress - I wore it a lot over Christmas. It's warm, super comfortable and doesn't crease - who could ask for more?

Here's a link to a very good guest post by Florence on Misformake's blog http://misformake.blogspot.com/2010/11/guest-post-by-florence.html. She uses some double knits from M is for Make to make her daughter some clothes but she also includes a list of hints and tips on sewing with it that might be useful. Lovely pattern, can't wait to see it finished. xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522116858976554998.post-68638894255109481982011-01-09T09:30:16.612+00:002011-01-09T09:30:16.612+00:00I have that dress on my list - it will be pretty i...I have that dress on my list - it will be pretty in that color! Doubleknits are easy to sew - I usually sew the seams with a narrow zigzag (one that almost looks like a straight line.) The best part is that it needs no seam finishing - it doesn't unravel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522116858976554998.post-8482301578721057672011-01-08T23:11:00.132+00:002011-01-08T23:11:00.132+00:00You´re in a frenzy laborious as a bee, please... s...You´re in a frenzy laborious as a bee, please... send you some of that energy to me...
