Fabric & Marking

Here's the fabric.  It's a polyester which I don't like, but it was perfect in every other way.  This will be a small problem when easing the sleeve cap because unlike like wool, poly just doesn't like to mesh together as much when easing.

I just love the way small peices of black ribbon glint - very classy!  Also, because they're in the warp and weft, it makes a subtle grid making it easy to recognise grain line.
