I bought some really lovely merino wool fabric called Karelia from Käpynen at this year's craft fair in Tampere. And I actually used it pretty soon too and didn't leave it to marinade in my stash :D
After pre-washing the fabric I cut it about like this:
No specific measurements. The fabric size was about 150 x 150 cm and I used all of it. Last pieces for pockets <3
Easy sewing with some details that really do make a difference when working with a stretchy knitted fabric; cotton jersey lining to the neckline:
and cotton jersey strand to shoulder seams to prevent stretching:
and hemming with a twin needle:
I'm so happy with my new dress that I've practically lived in now for a few weeks :D
