“How do you handle sewing stretch/slinky/textured fabrics?”.
It's not a straightforward answer, so Janelle Santner of Seams Come True decided she would do her best to walk you through her favorite techniques and tips when working with tricky fabrics! She will demonstrate these with her current make, a rainbow-striped 2-piece outfit made out of stretchy, metallic Bodre fabric.
Bodre is a lightweight fabric with irregular pleats that drapes beautifully but tends to slip around when being cut and sewn. When she saw this fabric, she immediately thought of all the gorgeous flowers at Biltmore House in Asheville, NC, and knew she wanted to make an outfit to wear there on her next visit!
