Pressing of Cotton/ Spandex Blends by
Hi,
I have just received new uniform shirts that I must keep pressed. They
are 98% cotton and 2% spandex. I have heard that you shouldn't use
starch on this fabric. Would sizing be ok? The care label says to use a
warm iron if needed- but that isn't getting the wrinkles out.
Any suggestions...

Rubber Cement on Fabric? by
RLK
I crafted a new shade for my lamp. Not having any fabric "glue", I used
rubber cement. It is a small shade and appears to have bonded the
lightweight cotton fabric (fused with interface) quite well to the template.
But will this eventually fall off? If I were to get fabric glue, what brand
do I...

Elastic insert on jeans by
SML
Has anyone slit down a jean's waistband and inserted an elastic panel to
enlarge the waist? It ends up as a v-shaped insert and makes the waist more
comfortable. I've seen the finished product but don't know how to make it
look good.

JoAnn's Cozy Flannel by
duh who
So, it looks like Joann's Cozy Flannel is actually some rugged stuff. I
couldn't pull apart threads like I can on most other flannels. Anyone else
have any experience with finished garments from this stuff? I'm thinking
about doing a shirt out of their Rust/Copper color.

Is it very difficult to do? Is there a specific method of gathering
the fabric? Anyone know of a book or site?
I absolutely LOVE this top. Granted, this made of a knit material, but
I can see it working with a plain cotton t shirt as well. (Do other
experienced eyes also see it working? =))
