New use, batting roll

Mar 21, 2012 4 Replies

You're going to love this. DH's high school class reunion is coming up. I found a special silk ribbon crocheted top but the wonderful matching skirt is only available in "X" sizes. ( You'll remember that you have only 2 token skinny people here and I am one.) The skirt is floral, fluted, whirly georgette. Taking it up in the waist is no big deal and taking out 18 or so inches in length isn't either. Letting it droop, sag, grow and then Level more of a challenge. Aha. I noticed the roll of batting standing guard in the guest room. Yessss. She may have to suffer a bit of a corset to suck her waistline in but I can count on her to be perfectly level and very patient and still. DD asked at Christmas did I really need two rolls of batting. Little did she know. Polly



multi purpose batting is a good thing. DD is lucky to have a willing to work with the stretchy stuff. How long will it need to 'hang around' before you can hem it? Taria

Good question, Taria. I don't know. I only remember that it must be done so that any plans the skirt has to stretch will go ahead and get it over with. Polly

I frequently use batting and poly toy stuffing to 'augment' my dress dummies - especially if I need one in a corset!

Any complaints? Polly "Kate XXXXXX"
