I had this fabric in my stash waiting for the right time and pattern. It was quite hard to work on this material because it was so thin and delicate that I couldn’t baste and used pins, and when I tried to use my regular sewing machine, sometimes it got stuck in the needle plate and left some holes. So I used my 5 thread overlock with chainstitch with my fingers crossed (hahaha ;) the fabric was a bit pricey), and put my trust on Burdastyle sizing.

What a gorgeous top! It looks lovely… I’m glad your sewing machine didn’t eat it up.
