Hi — I am FOREVER attracted by patterns for knits, but always sew wovens. Does anyone have some tips for converting patterns for knits to patterns for wovens? At the moment I have a pattern for a simple jacket (Chanel-ish). Thanks!

Hello Brooke,
You'll find some information about this (or about the reverse conversion) in:
- Fast Fit by Sandra Betzina, pp. 30-31 ("Knit Patterns in Woven Fabric"),
- Patternmaking for Fashion Design by Helen Joseph-Armstrong, pp. 613-614,
and online on http://www.leenas.com/English/scaling.html.
If you find anything else, please let me know.
