I just finished my first project sewing lycra. I made a long sleeve shirt for my SO. out of this nifty fabric he found ages ago that was red with large (9inches by about a foot and a half) yellow and black dragons and it tured out pretty well considering I figured out the pattern by tracing a similarly styled lycra shirt he already had and making the alterations he wanted. The only problems were based around the fact that the stuff was shifting so much that it was all I could to to make an almost straight line of stitches. I have never worked on something that moves so much. Does anyone have any tips for how to do better next time? He loves it but I could see all the flaws. I also have some stretch velvet that I wanted to make into something for myself but I don't want to risk ruining it with crooked seams. Thank you so much!
