Dear Constant Reader,
Here we are — Friday again! How does that keep happening?
Here’s your tip!
When working with stretchy fabric, stretch it before applying decorations.
If you stretch the fabric to the size it will be when you’re wearing it, your decorations will lie flat. I like to pin flat fabric to my ironing board and use a form for things like gloves or garters (a one liter soda bottle works nicely!). If you’re gluing rhinestones, make sure there’s plastic or a silicone mat under the fabric, so the glue doesn’t stick to your work surface or another section of the garment.
