What a cute idea :D

It is a slimming style for me...my extra weight would be hidden :wink:

Wow that is some dress, wonder how many selvedges it took and how long to save them up :D

For the ironing table, you can use the teflon fabric instead of muslin.

My husband purchased an extendable pointer with a magnet on the end for me from the auto parts store which I keep in my pen/pencil holder. I just extend it and sweep it across the floor to pick up any dropped pins. No bending over looking for pins and no stepping on them with your bare feet.

I use a carpenter's pencil - the flat kind that you have to sharpen with a
razor blade - when I have to draw on interfacing or freezer paper.

The wide pencil point doesn't snag the interfacing or put holes in the paper.

Also, I use a small foam paint brush to erase chalk lines on fabric.

do you wet the foam paint brush first or is it a dry rubbing?

No water, just dry - as if you were quickly brushing crumbs off your
fabric.

excellent!

thank you so much, i'm always on the hunt for an easy way to get the chalk off.
