I love ITY. Last summer I made a travel capsule wardrobe for a warm climate made of a lot of ITY which all fit in a small backpack. I showed it in an ASG Stule Show at Puyallup Sew Expo. And no wrinkles as I pulled each item out of the backpack. I used primarily my serger. This summer I have lost 40 lbs, about 19 kg and need smaller clothes. Fortunately I have a lot of ITY and many of the patterns you demonstrated. Working on refitting my tried and true patterns now.

I got an amazing top in Costa Rica years ago that I now know is ITY thanks to this video. Cool to touch and wear, beautiful drape and it took about 20 years of use to pill under the arms. I don't think my local fabric store here in Canada carries ITY regularly. I've never seen it anyway. Thank you for a super informative video.

Thank you for this video. When I first started sewing about 50 years ago, knits did not really exist. Having come back to sewing after a very long break, there are all these lovely knit fabrics but I haven't know what to do with so many; ITY being one of them. I have noticed that you do use it a lot in your makes. Now I understand how it drapes, I will have more confidence in buying the fabric and making it up. The top is fab.

What a fabulous vlog. Very informative. Thank-you so much for all you do on your channel. Quick question....although ity is a lightweight fabric to sew, it can be quite heavy. Do you ever reinforce where the bodice meets the skirt? Just wondering if a maxi length dress might distort/ pull on the bodice? Thanks again 😊
@LiftingPinsandNeedles
@LiftingPinsandNeedles Год назад
Some patterns recommend clear elastic in the seam but I find it abrasive on my skin. I never do it. Knit bodices are usually drafted shorter to account for the weight of the skirt. It’s why these styles recommend vertical stretch in the knit too.

Thank you for this clear explanation about ITY. I had been wondering for some time what fabric this would be, as we do not use this name in Belgium and surrounding countries. According to your explanation, we call this fabric "travel jersey" because it does not wrinkle at all. All the properties you mention are the same for this fabric . However, besides elasthan, polyamide is usually used instead of polyester, or a combination of polyamide and viscose. Do you think it's the same fabric?
