Hi Everyone,
Since I don't have any pressing sewing to do for the holidays I've decided
to use up some of my stash. The top piece is a panne velvet which stretches.
I have a simple dress pattern with a skirt seamed to a bodice but would like to
stabilize out the stretch. The fabric stretches across the grain of the
fabric, not along the length. I'd also like to do buttons instead of a zipper
or ties. Will lining the bodice stabilize the stretch? Would I cut the
lining on the bias or the straight. I'm considering tacking snowflake buttons
at intervals to decorate the bodice and keep the layers together. Any thoughts
or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cassandra
