Remember this jacket? It is actually a pretty blue color, which I posted in one of my previous posts. My camera is very moody, what can I say.
I washed it, hung it up and alas.. my interfacing shrunk!!! I'm not sure I've ever preshrunk interfacing before...well, I have definitely learned my lesson. I can easily fix it..just take off the buttons, tear off the interfacing and re-do it. Someday.
I have been eyeing Pam's interfacing over at
http://www.sewexciting.blogspot.com/ for quite some time. After my faux pas, I decided to order some. I ordered it Sunday afternoon and received it Wednesday.
(We don't live far from each other) The interfacing I ordered is for shirts I plan on making my husband some day. The instructions say it doesn't need preshrinking. It's gorgeous interfacing and I can't wait to try it!!!! Thanks Pam!
I'm almost done with another McCalls blouse...I'll post pictures later in the week. It's a pretty purple from my stash. I better hurry up because it's short sleeved.
Happy Sewing!

What a bummer. I've never preshrunk interfacing either. Never thought about it. Thanks for sharing.
So glad your package of interfacing arrived so quickly...we try to ship ASAP!
BTW, unless your interfacing is already pre-shrunk like the ones I have custom-milled...and says it does not shrink (in print !)..then you have to at least steam it before fusing.
Best, Pam
