ElizabethDee said... Lucky, lucky DH -- those tees look great! Being something of a dinosaur I am fascinated to hear about these fabrics. Are they at all difficult to sew on? Any special techniques required? I am tempted to try them; thanks for including the source. 1/20/11 11:54 AM

I was just super careful when hemming the white one and used washaway wonder tape to hold the hem in place instead of pins so I wouldn't make holes. The blue one wasn't difficult at all - no special handling. 1/20/11 1:11 PM
