Since you are using 100% cotton (and especially with the muslin), do wash these fabric prior to cutting and sewing? It seems that when I use muslin as a lining, it shrinks so much under the skirts that I don't use it for other clothing projects.

The house will be quite messy afterwards. So one must really organize things well, so that the housework doesn't get too much after a sewing phase. <br />I always force myself to clean up everything before I go to bed in the evening. <br Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-62070071705664796662009-07-27T10:43:30.362-07:002009-07-27T10:43:30.362-07:00Would love to know the name of the book mentioned ...Would love to know the name of the book mentioned from the 7o's!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-24725927606947444622009-07-27T09:59:31.295-07:002009-07-27T09:59:31.295-07:00This is one of those comments I have to "cut ...This is one of those comments I have to "cut in half and divide by 2"--you have to take in to consideration that these dresses cost me my housekeeping while I was making them. ALthough I only made 4 a year, sewers know that you have to really let the house go, and it is quite a chore to catch up. If you have small children, I would not recommend that you get too deep in sewing.
