I don't think I will try this. I have tried to do alot of the things myself, and realize at the ripe old age of 65 (yikes) that I have to use my time more wisely. I have an open bottle of vodka that I used to make my own spray starch - did not like the results and would rather drink the vodka. I have started to save nips, bits, crumbs and selvages - and will end up putting this up on the giveaway part of the site. I have shopped thrift stores and yard sales for fabric and have filled up my closets. I now try to buy good fabric. The one thing I cannot stop myself from doing is buying fabric because I love the fabric, not buying for a specific project. That is a vice that I cannot live without. Just wrap me in all my fabic before you lay me down in the earth, cheaper than a coffin!! (maybe not)
