I was worrying that I'd have to go and buy special interfacing, and then you pulled out toilet paper!

But if you use a water soluble stabilizer you shouldn't have to worry about seeing it when you're done.Grosgrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708175838803992833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-38131610926566267282010-10-06T08:31:17.659-04:002010-10-06T08:31:17.659-04:00Thanks so much for this tutorial...ever since I st...Thanks so much for this tutorial...ever since I started blogging, I have been searching for sewing blogs that actually address clothing, not crafts...turns out they are very hard to find, so I was super, super excited to come across your blog (obviously, new follower).
