Good luck! I got some nice cotton from my in laws for Xmas which I think I'll be using for the cambie. It's a dark racing green. Can't wait to make it but have suddenly found myself with 2 other things to make before I can start!

I think that is a good idea. If once you wear...Yes. I think that is a good idea. If once you wear it is bothers you (or the facing moves around, or it gets in any way annoying!), you could try stitching it down. But secured at the neck and arm seams sounds good to me!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028414273977350224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815649645559172659.post-51679203780893762942013-02-01T11:13:27.989-05:002013-02-01T11:13:27.989-05:00Thanks!

Here's a link to the cover image: http://soisewedthis.blogspot.com/2013/01/2013-re-sew-lution-focus-on-enjoyment.html<br /><br />Maybe I should've started with a pattern like the Cambie that includes lining instructions! I might have to try that one next because I've seen a lot of cute versions.

I'll have to look online. <br /><br />I decided not to stitch the facing down to the lining, for fear that if i stitched it down it my cause some pulling across the chest area? I could still go back and stitch it down, but for now it's attaches at the neck and arm seams, but the bottom of the facing hangs freely. Is that what you would do?soisewedthishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132339220603233156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815649645559172659.post-77952563260774889592013-02-01T11:07:58.358-05:002013-02-01T11:07:58.358-05:00Congrats!

I once even found some in their clearance aisle! I have never done facing plus lining..I can't tell from the photos, are you stitching the facing down to the lining at all?
