Keep in mind, this is an experiment. I am always up to learn something new and will give it a try and an honest report. At this point the pieces are cut, interlined in the skirt only with the net, and underlined with a heavy batiste, 100% cotton. The seams are all finished with a Hong Kong finish and all is enclosed and looking good. There is not netting exposed anywhere to itch and again, it is only in the skirt. Back to my cave to keep working on it and filing the next report..

I recall one blouse Mom made me years ago that she used net as interfacing in cuffs, front facings and collar. Even though it was enclosed, it still itched, especially the cuffs and collar band. Everyone has different "it's scratchy!" tolerances, maybe a test before sewing it up would be wise?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-82402643024615449682015-05-05T20:12:48.037-04:002015-05-05T20:12:48.037-04:00One and the same!

Now I will put together the front pieces and it will be a lot easier. I often find the zipper installations aren't in the best sequence in patterns. It pays to read through the instructions and doing that muslin before cutting into the fashion fabric!Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-42407029923112299832015-05-05T06:11:00.134-04:002015-05-05T06:11:00.134-04:00I love the pattern too, but most of all I want to ...I love the pattern too, but most of all I want to see what happens with the net.
