There is no need to fear sewing Knits!
There may have been a time when you feared wovens, possibly when you were learning to sew. Wovens can be thick or thin; shiny or dull; slippery or stiff; stable or stretchy. It is the same with today’s knits. They include stretchy jersey and stable ponte. There are open mesh knits and knits with ribs. Popular interlocks are made from many fibers including polyester, nylon, rayon, cotton, acrylic, bamboo, lyocell, spandex, and any blend of these.
In knit fashions today, a simple T-shirt might be made in a polyester
print instead of a cotton. A knit top may have fashion details like a cowl
neckline, a wrap front, or pleats and gathers as well as many interesting fashion details. There are solids and prints and we are combining them for creativity.
The newest rage is to get creative in your knit sewing as you will see in the book Knits for Real People. Knits are a perfect canvas since they are easy to work with and easy to fit.
