I decided to live on the edge and cut this one on the fold too, since this design is so forgiving. My habotai does press, so that was in my favor. I've never worked with chiffon, and now you have me scared!<br /><br />I hope you finish yours soon - I can't wait to see it! This style is going to look fantastic on you!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-60233030170731207902014-04-17T07:32:59.125-05:002014-04-17T07:32:59.125-05:00It was totally a slumber party!

I am having all sorts of problems with my chiffon. Chiffon does not like to be creased or pressed into submission in any way, which does not make for crisp seams or neat bias binding/neck ties. Grr. But I will get there now I've finished Miss M's Peppa Pig outfit.
