Hi there!

Let’s cut to it:

If you’re still fiddling with flimsy knits or stiff wovens for your figure-flattering patterns—you’re sewing uphill. And there’s zero reason for it.

Midweek is not the time to wander aimlessly through your fabric stash. It’s the time to set yourself up for a weekend win. That means using fabric that makes you look like you knew what you were doing—even if you stitched it while binge-watching a crime drama.

That fabric?
👉 Ponte de Roma. Also called Double Knit.

You want structure and stretch? Done.
You want drape without cling? You’ve got it.
You want it to feel luxurious but behave like a pro? That’s Ponte.

Now, here's how to use it right now:

🟣 Project #1: The Royal Sheath Dress

(You’ve seen the model. Clean lines. Strong shape. No fuss.)
Ponte gives it just enough stretch to move with you—without bubbling, puckering, or printing every line of your undergarments. You’ll look like you bought it in a boutique. You didn’t. You made it. And that’s the point.

🟣 Project #2: The Plus-Sized Alouette Skirt

A wrap that stays wrapped. A bow that actually holds its shape.
Ponte’s smooth finish adds polish without bulk, so curves are hugged—not squeezed. No lining needed. No slip showing. No fight with your machine. Just a beautiful, body-loving result that WORKS.

🔗 Trouble Clicking a Link?
If a link in this email isn’t working, it’s probably not you—it’s your email server being dramatic.

Sometimes email providers (like Yahoo, AOL, or strict work filters) break links like it's their job. 😒

Here’s what to do:

1. 🧩 Copy the link from the email

2. 🌐 Paste it into a brand-new browser tab

3. 🕵️‍♀️ Still stuck? Try opening it in Incognito Mode (aka Secret Agent Browsing)

If all else fails, just write me at [email protected] and I’ll get you what you need. 💌
