There is still no sign of my missing hair canvas. (Big sigh.) It would have been perfect to stay holed up in my nice warm Craft Lounge stitching away at my Lady Grey while the NY area dug itself out from the blizzard.
Oh well. But I did make some progress on the project! I was getting very nervous that my boucles fabric would ravel badly, especially once I snipped into it at the princess seams. It is a somewhat loose weave. So, I decided that a light interfacing that would not add bulk or affect the drape of the cloth (the hair canvas will do that), but would add some stability and keep the ends from raveling would help the situation. So, after testing all the interfacing in my stash, I settled on Pro-Sheer Elegance from Fashion Sewing Supply. It is the best.
So, I spent the majority of this afternoon cutting and fusing interfacing. I had to pause for about 2 hours when we lost power, but other than that, it all went smoothly. I admit that it would have been much easier to just block fuse the interfacing to the boucles before I cut it. But oh well. At least it is done. Now, back to searching for my hair canvas!
I hope you found a fun and productive way to ride out the storm if you are in the blizzard zone!

Isn't it wonderful to have such an entertaining hobby for snow days? Good luck with your jacket. Can't wait to see the finishe product.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's my nature to have at one thing that I'm obsessing over, this time it's the shower curtain and the duvet. Might as well sucumb to my obsession, right. You are making great progress with your "Lady Clio". Hope your find hour hair canvas too.
