Unfortunately this week has been a slow sewing week. I took advantage of the nicer weather and took the little ones out of the house on walks around town and then to a nature museum this week. I have to teach the twins to behave better in public, (they both had a complete meltdown in the museum ... at the same time!) but it's not their fault. I haven't taken them out much at all this past winter! Time to fix that and start with weekly outings!
Do any of you have experience with sewing satin? Our oldest daughter is getting Confirmed in May and I want to make her a special dress for the big day. I bought some satin, bridal lining fabric, lace for a skirt overlay and a pattern off Etsy. Do I need to prewash satin? What type and size needle should I use? What stitch length? I would appreciate any tips!
