Jun. 14th, 2023 10:17 amI am currently on hold with my two dresses because I need interfacing. I have a few scraps lying around, nothing wide enough for anything substantial.
Y'all... how do I interface? I've always purchased non-woven fusible, and I can NEVER get it stuck right. Even when it seems to stick, it comes loose. Totally fine when I'm also stitching it down but annoying when it's coming loose before I can sew it. I've used wool setting with steam and no steam, hold and press for 10 seconds, use a press cloth, let it rest until completely cool, just about everything I've gleaned from various places. How do?!
Except to the ironing board. It sticks to the ironing board just fine.
I need some knit fusible for the blazer project, so that will be on the list for sure. The rest... I don't know what's best. I need mostly facing and buttonhole stabilizers. Stuff for waistbands.
New role at work is going OK so far. I only have access to one part of it to start with, and it's pretty straightforward. The rest will come as accesses are put into place. So I still have lots of time to write fanfic and ponder my wardrobe sewing lol.
I stared at Deer & Doe's wardrobe book collection again. I'm good on dresses (or will be when these two are done), but I could use a skirt (midi-maxi length). Then I really need to make my pants work (although three of the same style is BORING so that makes at least one new pair totes fine ;) I have my eye on Mitchell trousers) and I MUST work on some shirts! I. Need. Shirts!
A friend sent me their Pinterest board and I just super love the look of teens-era separates. I think I could get away with those for modern wear too, particularly if I used either basic fabrics or really fun ones. Can you imagine? Say a 1917 blouse made with like, a lemon print. How fun would that be? I keep looking at various indie-made patterns when really, I can get away with SO MUCH with my own skills and patterns I already own.
