Fluid Fabric Help making fabric choice
Edie42 Intermediate Member since 2/11/12 Posts: 3	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/2/12 12:57 PM Have HotPatterns Artful Dodger Prudence Blouse which suggests double georgette, crepe de chine, handkerchief linen, charmeuse, lightweight crepe or rayon, but I've only worked with cotton and wool and am nervous about choosing a fabric that might be beyond my skill level. Suggestions?
