I'm new to stretch sewing myself and I've never thought of finishing a neckline the way you did. So you definitely just used cotton bias tape that doesn't have any stretch. I imagine it stabilises the neckline. Do you use a stretch stitch for your seams? I think I'll give my twin needle a go for hems as well.<br /><br />Great sewing and blog!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291010492733654009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-71237092307067964752012-07-28T14:07:03.070-05:002012-07-28T14:07:03.070-05:00Another great looking dress.

Silk/cotton blends can be tough. Sometimes I have to wash the yardage 3x before it softens up enough to let the wrinkles come out. I always press on a medium setting with lots and lots of steam. It can be a difficult fabric to ease as well. <br /><br />I'm another one that hardly ever gets anything good out of the fabricmart bundles. Once I got a beautiful piece of silk charmeuse and another time I got some great quilting cottons to make some children's clothing with, but that's about it.clothingengineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264606830150834654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-12195238981659747632012-07-25T22:44:54.618-05:002012-07-25T22:44:54.618-05:00Super cute, and I think a great use for that fabri...Super cute, and I think a great use for that fabric!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618791529567648903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-49761839763827235662012-07-25T22:04:23.256-05:002012-07-25T22:04:23.256-05:00I'm always impressed by your construction skil...I'm always impressed by your construction skills!
