Hey, BTW have I showed you that Chanel-inspired tweed dress I made for Valentine’s Day? It was the biggest PITA and I have a bit of PTSD from that tweed bouclé fabric, but I fucking love the dress! Here’s my beautiful tweed dress.

Wow! I love it! You did really well - especially considering you probably threatened it with scissors a few times. 😂

Well, I learned that tweed isn’t easy to work with… I was glad I picked the pattern I did because I’d already made it several times, so I knew how to make it. But yea… Tweed sucks to work with! And it fills your machine with lint. LOL It’s almost impossible to keep it lint-free when sewing tweed.

That's why I don't sew with fleece or flannel much - MESS. I made a coat with tweed once. Mostly I hate sewing really slippery synthetic fibers. (Rayon/viscose gets a pass.) Oh, and microfiber can burn in hell. 🔥
