Grrrrr! I've only just started on the sewing of my dressing gown and my blood pressure is up to, well, whatever high is on the blood pressure scale! Thankfully I've never had much to do medically with high blood pressure, so I don't know the proper terms. It's some kind of fleecy material. I didn't like it when I was cutting it up into the pieces but now that I'm trying to sew it, I CANNOT STAND IT!
I've come to the laptop to try to regain composure and relax, breathe and possibly look for some words of wisdom on the subject of sewing with whatever it is. I got it as it's the same material as my daughter's gown, which is so cuddly and nice to touch.
Look at me!
When I sew, the material stretches so much it's hard to keep in a straight line and it's so light that the seams you make are very difficult to keep in place.
It's at times like these I wish I had tonnes of followers who would be able to give me advice on how to treat this fabric; other than throw it out of the window of course. I'll have to suffice with a Google search instead.
Here's a wonky pocket to show you what I mean:
Right, I'm off to fight some more with this stuff - if you have any flashes of inspiration, please do share :-)
Take care out there
What is it you are making hon? Are you actually making a dressing gown or using one to make something else? I know it doesn't take much but I am confused.
ReplyDeleteYes the first sentence gives it away - I'm making a dressing gown :-) I'm hoping by tonight that it'll be almost finished - yee hah!
