It's a great subject to discuss ! I've used ponte for a cardigan, and a dress would be nice I think, it's both comfortable and elegant. But too hot for summer time probably...

Viscose poplin sounds interesting !

Hi everyone, I thought I'd share some of the projects that I've been working on during the weekend socials the last few weeks. I've made a Sew Over It Alex shirt in the black floral viscose, a Vertige blouse by Atelier Scammit with the sleeves from the Nina Lee Bakerloo blouse in the blue viscose, and an Emma blouse by Atelier Jupe in the pink viscose. 
I have to say, the weekly socials have really upped my sewing productivity!

Hi Daisy! I'm also very new to printing patterns having only bought the full pattern in the past! I was unsure how to go about this and had resorted to sellotaping numerous sheets of A4 together at home. However, all my questions were answered and fears put aside when I was able to speak with the lovely people at CLC Prints when I visited The Stitch Festival at the Business Design Centre (my first time and it was amazing!!). I placed my order and also emailed them attaching the pattern just in case I had ordered incorrectly (which is what they had suggested as a back-up). The order was correct and my new patterns arrived a few days later. I had chosen the £2 per sheet of A0 option as opposed to the slightly cheaper tissue paper option, like the traditional old style pattern. I will definitely be using CLC patterns again!

Hello Jaicee

I think we are both in a similar stage in our journey and similarly confused! So your reply was very helpful, thank you 

It's good to know there are such helpful companies, it's very reassuring 😊
