Because I would do very bad things to get my hands on it. Matte jersey, BCBG. Anyone?

Yellow, Black and White Maxi: Simplicity 3503
It’s not too often I outright copy Trena and make something because I saw hers. I mean, I get salty when I give her unloved fabric and she turns it into a masterpiece. When? Like this shirt and this dress. I already know I’m going to be mad when she sews this fabric from China. Four years ago Trena […]

Lots of Little Things
The last time I wrote, I promised I’d have photos of my latest project on me. Well, little did I know it would be a incredibly windy and biting 36 degrees (2.2 celsius) on Sunday when I wore the dress in Michigan. In case you’re wondering, that’s 35 degrees cooler than it was when I […]

Sewy Rebecca: Conquering the Scalloped Band
In my last bra post, I said I needed to get up to five new bras this year. Well, I’m just about there now with the addition of these two bras. Both are made from the Rebecca pattern by Sewy (a German company) and kits from Summerset on Etsy. I did try this brown combo once […]

Sewy Rebecca: Valentine’s Day Edition
So, I’m a month and one holiday too late. I thought I’d get this sewn in time for Valentine’s Day and at least inwardly celebrate the day. But, alas, I lost my mojo. I was lucky it came back in a spurt Friday night after meeting up with Norma of Orange Lingerie who is in […]

Assembly Line Sewing: Fehr Trade’s Lacy Thong
My underwear situation is pretty tragic. Once I figured out a year ago that I could sew my own panties, I refused to buy them any more (even at $5 a pair). Except, I also wasn’t sewing them either. It was Trena who mentioned she’d used the Under Armour thin wicking fabric from my local […]

Book Review: Just Make Them Beautiful
Apparently, this last week was the anniversary of Grace Kelley’s 1965 wedding to Prince Ranier of Monaco. I thought it was high time I let you know that I *finally* read her wedding dress designer’s book, ‘Just Make Them Beautiful’. The book was published in 1976 and was limited edition at that time. There are […]

I Finally Read “Over-Dressed”
And, I felt kind of depressed. And have spent the weekend obsessively cleaning out my closets, drawers and basement. I live alone in a three bedroom house and there is stuff in each of those rooms. I want to get down to the things I need. Not just the stuff I want. And, less stuff. […]

Book Review: Sewing Lingerie from the Singer Sewing Reference Library
Guys, I’m so busy these days between work (larger projects, running a Fellowship program) and extra curricular activities (election season). I don’t want to tell you I’m on a hiatus from blogging since I may have a whim (like now). But, I will be posting very little until the end of September. I can only […]

Book Review: Singer Sewing Reference Library: Sewing Activewear
I’m at least two projects or more from tackling my athletic wear (I sew by the color on the serger). But, thought you might be interested in a great resource on sewing athletic wear. I managed to purchase most of the Singer Sewing Reference Library in one fell swoop a couple years ago. One of […]

Bunka Garment Design Textbooks Are Amazing.
I am not selling my books nor do I have access to the discounted price I originally paid. If you are interested in buying these books, please use Amazon Japan. The books are about $40 each plus shipping. If you email asking where to buy the books or asking to purchase mine, I will not […]

I wish I had. That fabric is gorgeous!
Nope. But it is terribly scrumptuous.
No, but it truly is the perfect combo of red, white, and blues…Generally speaking, BCBG really does use some fabulous print jerseys! If you find some, promise you will let the rest of us know?? Pretty please?
Gorgeous! I too promise on my Kai scissors to put out an immediate BOLO for it! (be on the lookout)
That is gorgeous!
What a wonderful pattern!
I love that fabric, but I haven’t seen it. Mood Fabrics might carry it or something very close to it.
I haven’t either but please let me know if you do, I would love some as well.
Lovely but I think the bias bands at the neckline and waist must be a smaller print because it’s continuously XXX while the dress fabric has white and light blue solid areas.
IMO, that’s two fabrics.
But if anybody finds anything similar, please post.
LaKaribane is right – it’s two different fabrics. Did you try asking Kashi?
Oooh, I just love BCBG for inspiration! I’ll keep an eye on that fabric.
No, but I want it!
Hey Cidell, I emailed my source at mood and she sent me a few pics of similar fabrics in a silk jersey, send me your email address and I will send you the pics.

You would look so cute in that dress.
You are probably over searching for this fabric, but EmmaOneSock has a large diagonal plaid somewhat reminiscent of this in blue/brown/cream: http://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/knitprints35087.asp
