Tester Adventures

Sometimes I get to test patterns and fabrics out, I love doing this as you get to really look at something before you buy. Often, with fabrics in particular, you are unsure as to the scale of the print or what it feels like, and the feel is a big part of whether you want it or not. It's all very well having a beautiful print but if it's printed on some raggedy thin jersey it will make your clothes look rubbish however good the cut of the pattern is. Over the last couple of weeks I've tested an underwear pattern for Made By Jacks Mum (Speedy Pants) and a new LOTR custom print fabric from J.K.Jersey. The pants/boxers pattern isn't released yet but when it is I'll post up the pictures and info on it. Patterns available from http://www.madebyjacksmum.com/ Fabric test for JK Jersey This is a 4way stretch cotton lycra jersey 95/5 LOTR inspired character print on a green base Pre washed really well, slight curl on the edges once dried as usual with stretch knits
