LET'S TALK SEWING THEORY!
The thing about using stash fabric is that they don't always have the right weight or "tightness" in weave. The linen I have stretches a little bit vs a tight quilting cotton (stretch them and you'll understand) and the chiffon is just pretty flimsy fabric. This is where the middle weight interfacing comes in.
ANOTHER reason for the interfacing, it makes it so much easier to cut the pattern pieces! I draw on the pattern on interfacing, iron on the interfacing to the linen, then baste them all together.
If you have a hard time mapping out designs, use pasta noodles to outline the placement, and voila! Mark where the pasta is and hand sew to your hearts content. I chose a simple but pretty design for my stars and I have plans to add some more different shapes to indicate the pixie dust.
I'll be making her baby doll dress and posting the pattern for it here soon after testing it!
Love,
Wendy
