How nice, there is nothing like a handcrafted blouse, especially custom made.

You have been busy! I have made a few blankets with minky on one side and cotton or flannel on the other, and even that's a bit tricky. I was thinking of using spray basting to keep it from sliding while I sew, then washing.

You can sew all you want with the slickery stuff. I'll stick to cotton and home decorating fabric that isn't slickery.

I agree with you about the masochistic activity that sewing with Minkee is. But... it's oh, so cuddly! Good luck with all your ongoing projects... I will check back to see your new pincushion. Best wishes!

I don't envy you making blouses. Sorry about your pin cushion putting your pins in your wrist sounds like something I would do.

I do believe that I do, indeed, have a Making a Wrist Pincushion tutorial.
Thanks, Paula ;)

You are to be considered quite intrepid (in my book) for sewing with the 'slickery' fabrics . . . not something I would be brave enough to try.

Wow, you sure were productive! I think I would like to make one of those pin cushions too...so if you find the directions, let me know! Thanks!

Way to bust through some stash! As a treat to yourself, you should buy some more. ~ksp

I don't envy you your slippery sewing. I think I'll stick with cotton and straight lines, thank you.

Such perseverence on the blouses! I doubt I would have kept my focus making the pattern changes, etc. Glad you have two done.

I just love to use up spools of thread! What a feeling!

No wonder my kids call me a dork.

I bet that slinky stuff is great with minky for a baby. :o)
I am going to bind a piece of minly with a Liberty lawn print. (Instead of Masochist, I am just stupid. That is going to end up being a $100 project... Lawn - @$40/yard, Minky - @$20! I am doing blanket width binding, so I needed almost 2 yards!)

Quilting makes you forget about that shiny,slikery stretchy fabric that exists out there. Good luck with the rest of the blouses.
