(You could possibly even cut them at the same time, I would imagine it would keep your fabric from moving when you are cutting so precisely.) From there sew the fleece lining to your wool pieces. You want the exterior to be the sturdy part, adding it to the lining would make the lining bulky when you want that part to have some fluidity. <br /><br />Hope this helped!

I also just didn't want to give it a try, but am so glad that I did. Most of my sewing involves projects to sell on my etsy shop and it get sort of repetitive. So a project like this where I'm learning something and concentrating on a specific task is fulfilling! ~JulieFabric Marthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126524811564615408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031068980840536757.post-22276710292535260472012-12-16T06:11:18.833-05:002012-12-16T06:11:18.833-05:00Thank you for this post!

Where before I fit exactly to pattern measurements, these days those patterns need a tweak here and there, like at the back shoulder, waist girth, and so on. I've come to that turning point where muslins can make the difference between success and failure, and since I love beautiful fabrics and great results, I opt for success...or hopefully so anyway :)Calico_Quilter0321https://www.blogger.com/profile/06785640257627946830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031068980840536757.post-39648826662010716102012-12-14T08:49:50.669-05:002012-12-14T08:49:50.669-05:00Thanks!
