I don't usually understand people's fear about knits but yes, there are some projects where I don't like the weight and the pattern choice so I understand your decision. I just took about ten garments to my sewing retreat and felt a little sad that one was a silk-organza underlined silk shirt/jacket that I only wore once...but it too just wasn't me. It's th benefit of sewing our own clothes...and the bugaboo too.

I thought I was late to the Presto party, but I've made five of them this summer! One in white silk jersey that drove me nuts trying to keep track of the right side. It might not have made any difference, but I wasn't about to take a chance. Paris awaits you.
