Since all I want to do when I get home from work is slipping into my Kwik Sew cami I decided to make a second one. In the spirit of yesterday’s post this one is made of organic ribbed cotton. It’s the softest cotton I have ever laid my hands on, the quality is superior. The drawback though is that it grows like crazy, which makes it both a bit hard to sew and hard to wear. I have actually drafted a special sloper just for this knit that’s only 85% of my chest circumference, but even that is too big. This Kwik Sew project was however perfect since the elastic keeps the fabric in check.Hope you all will have a nice weekend. I’m off to visit a castle – which is one of my favorite outings!

>>Gwnesews: Yes it's a potential hazard, I did adjust the pattern to make it even snugger, but I do fear that the cups will grow…
>>Lisette M: English castle hunting sounds like the ultimate honeymoon to me 🙂 And I am thrilled that you asked about my castle outing. Especially for you I will post some pictures tomorrow!
>>Christina: Thanks, and nice to hear from another comfy knit lover. I think that my "mjukisbyxor" is the most worn garment in my wardrobe.
>>Mary Nanna: That would be just me, a tripod and a remote timer You can totally book me, I would love to go to New Zealand 🙂 Actually I did give the photo a little special aftertreatment using the free software Poladroid.

I thought about buying organic ribbed cotton, was enticed by the words soft and luxurious. I had a sneaking suspicion that the fabric would grow!
