Way easier to work with, and it will wash out easily. Considering that gorgeous dress you just made, this should be a snap. <br /><br />Caution on taking on too many sewing projects for friends, you just may find yourself sewing for other people more than yourself. Practise saying "oh I am so sorry, I couldn't possibly, I have 5 projects on the go right now and one more is just too much". Or whatever sounds like something you would say. Your sewing time is limited after all. Been there, done that, got pissed off about it.ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883830673429634097.post-11667245992751113952012-06-24T12:55:55.591+01:002012-06-24T12:55:55.591+01:00I'd suggest using detachable bra straps + tubi...I'd suggest using detachable bra straps + tubing for the straps. I do this with slips I make and it means they can be adjusted higher/lower for use with garments having differing necklines..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883830673429634097.post-55714576574997554932012-06-24T12:24:59.626+01:002012-06-24T12:24:59.626+01:00Go for it, you will do well.

Hence why you could pay a lot more for "hand made" items. All down to experience and finishes.Sassy https://www.blogger.com/profile/07167967498415098188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883830673429634097.post-87421592533272529712012-06-24T11:59:54.133+01:002012-06-24T11:59:54.133+01:00Oooh, I hate sewing with slippery fabric.

Good luck, but I have made a dress for a friend before, and she was very understanding that a homemade dress will never have that same perfect finish as something from a shop, she was still over the moon that I had made something for her. xLouise Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858832660475944060noreply@blogger.com
