So glad that I'm not the only one who has this issue! With the muslin I believe it's just a reference to what the changes in your pattern will be? That is how I've used it, and just scrap the whole thing at the end. Total waste which is why I usually use a fabric from the thrift shop& if I can make it wearable then it's a bonus. I mean, I'm no expert so if someone can correct me jump in on this lol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512468554001226679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557128196197742241.post-74617811129365253332013-05-17T10:19:28.291-07:002013-05-17T10:19:28.291-07:00Wow, what a great fabric!

It's not usually the way I sew--I'm trying to find a way to do things more inexpensively--but when the fabric or the pattern or the occasion calls for it, it really still will be saving me $$ over buying something that is as good ready-made.bethanycavanaugh@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193305956789000379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557128196197742241.post-53836057436142822532013-05-16T15:54:12.741-07:002013-05-16T15:54:12.741-07:00I have a hard time finding a way to make sewing le...I have a hard time finding a way to make sewing less expensive than ready to wear. The only way I can work it out is not to try to recreate the discount store brands. Instead I invest my time and money into something that will be as special as a designer or boutique dress. I think you absolutely achieved that with this dress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422713085145888286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557128196197742241.post-9522659004108059092013-05-16T09:44:58.580-07:002013-05-16T09:44:58.580-07:00Woot, I'm feeling big time now that you've...Woot, I'm feeling big time now that you've visited!

I'm not a big muslin person either, but I do have one bodice muslin that I keep re-using as pattern pieces.
