The preoccupation multiplied in September when we went to San Luis Obispo for our nephew&#8217;s wedding. We visited some friends down there, and I inherited some vintage patterns and doubleknit fabric. That set off a crazy flurry of doubleknit-purchasing activity. Did you know that modern-day doubleknit is known as ponte? Well, now you do.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I ordered the fabric in this dress from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sewbaby.com\/shopbaby\/product_info.php?products_id=3581\" target=\"_blank\">SewBaby<\/a>. I don&#8217;t know where it came from, but they are probably just glad there are suckers out there who still want doubleknit. The vintage pattern I used turned out to be kind of huge, and even after I took in the side panels in a feeble attempt to make it smaller, it is still a bit big. Maybe I can pretend it&#8217;s one of those trapeze-type dresses?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/P1000314.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/P1000314-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"doubleknit dress closeup\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1422\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/P1000314-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/P1000314-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Here&#8217;s another shot where you can kind of see the pockets. I liked that detail. Of course, since the pattern was too big, the pockets are a bit on the low side, but again, this is life when one has no spacial skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been a little preoccupied with doubleknit for about a year now for some reason.
