My Meringue Skirt muslin fit great everywhere except the length. I decided to add 2 inches to the pattern and now I’m ready to go! The fabric I decided on (I think) is a velveteen print by Anna Maria Horner. My only reservation is that it is quite a large, bold print and I usually go for something a bit more reserved. I will have to pay special attention to the cutting layout since it has a nap and and one way print. Ugh!!! IMO, cutting is the most dreaded part of sewing. The rest is fun. 🙂
I would welcome any and all comments on your experience sewing with velvet or velveteen and/or bold prints. It is with a bit of trepidation that I move forward with this fabric decision. Thank you for any pointers you wish to share.

Sewing is my passion and I always have a notion to sew, but sometimes I get distracted with other crafty endeavors. I share my creative accomplishments (and sometimes failures) here on my blog. I am a licensed Martha Pullen beginning sewing instructor and serger instructor. For 5 years, I taught new owners how to use their Bernina sewing machines at my local Bernina dealer, and for 2 years I taught serger project classes at my local Baby Lock dealer. These days, my professional time is spent retailing handmade purse and bag making supplies and patterns. I also sell a small selection of fabric as well as my handmade bags and purses.
