A while back I was looking through your blog (I loved your modern day Loki, those boots and horns insert drooling emoji) and I saw a post about a bunch of sewing books either co-authored by yourself and friend, or written by friend about working with materials used in swimsuits, superhero costumes, and figure skater’s outfits. And fool that I am, I told myself I would bookmark the link later and promptly lost it. Could you do me a solid and point me in the right direction? Thanks

rattle-and-burn:

Those were all written by a friend, I just hype them because her spandex book really helped me! I do much more tailored, fitted garments and stretchy bodysuits were a mystery – not really something that gets covered in fashion school xD

• Twin needle can be used
• Ball point or a stretch needle by itself also 
• walking foot/dual feeder foot can also be handy
