I had my daughter 30 days ago and I’m officially over the moon happy to be able to work with structured fabric and patterns again and give jersey a much needed break. So what better way to indulge than with my beloved neoprene.If there is one fabric that will completely transform any pattern, it has to be neoprene. I have worked with this fantastic fabric in the past so I know how it responds. But this neoprene from Moodfabrics.com adds a more interesting textural spin with it’s net like overlay and is absolutely perfect!
