I wanted to chime in to say that I purchased the MTO Bamboo-Cotton interlock (not the Bamboo-Lycra Jersey) from the co-op & it is much (much) more stable. I think it would work great & had in mind for this pattern. Oh, and it doesn't wrinkle like the jersey but it sure does collect dog fur!elberethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554976226353461033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-24021634732010011472009-06-02T03:56:11.760-08:002009-06-02T03:56:11.760-08:00Wow...just looking at the profile, fit, and style ...Wow...just looking at the profile, fit, and style of your top...I love it! Finding the right fabric (non-bamboo) would make this top a winner for sure. I'm off to trace this pattern.

I've never sewn with bamboo knit and after hearing what people say, I think I may give it a miss. Once you make this in a more stable knit, I think it will be a winner!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-33761689729092095992009-06-01T12:52:50.866-08:002009-06-01T12:52:50.866-08:00The style is great....you could always finish it a...The style is great....you could always finish it and just wear it around the house...hate to have you chuck all that work.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683033681892828851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-39468752828988312112009-06-01T10:02:30.709-08:002009-06-01T10:02:30.709-08:00Thanks for the info!

Hmm. I recently made a top for my mom with a 100% bamboo knit and I had trouble with it too. Super thin and boy oh boy did it stretch out like crazy. I ended up having to use lots of elastic to make it work because it wouldn't keep its shape!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324391008394382710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-12669326913354154142009-06-01T07:53:56.778-08:002009-06-01T07:53:56.778-08:00That stinks your fabric was crap.
