The quest for my perfect jersey wrap dress

Instagram

Any top tips for binding a knit neckline? I’ve not tried this before (always hemmed or used bands) and It seems tricky... #sewingknits
Here’s another snap of my heart-print #v8379 dress – it’s been getting lots of wear already and I’ve got eleventy-billion fabric ideas for some more. Has anyone made a wrap dress like this for winter in wool jersey?

I’m a wrap dress convert – this is my third version of #V8379 by @mccallpatternuk. And I’m in love with this heart-print jersey ❤️ from @temptationscraftboutique. All the details are up on the blog now...

I’ve had this beautiful robe PDF pattern downloaded and in my queue for 5 years. But when I finally got around to tiling the PDF, it turned out to be a nightmare! None of the usual markings for cutting off edges and matching pieces are there, there are weird gaps and bits missing. Unusable - I don’t want to risk good fabric making this up. Such a shame because I love the style. Is it pissy to complain about a ‘free’ download? (Not really free because the magazine with all the instructions was £5.99.)
