I did a little ...Kristina, that's a good point. I did a little more digging on the interfacing issue. VoNBBS does suggest interfacing for a couple projects in the book, but it refers to interfacing as another fabric that adds body to your fashion fabric. It suggests canvas for heavier garments and muslin or taffeta for lightweight ones. Perhaps there was no such thing as dedicated interfacing yet, so it was still used sparingly?Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-44054935700795052612009-07-14T12:39:13.630-04:002009-07-14T12:39:13.630-04:00As to why vouge did not suggest interfacing perhap...As to why vouge did not suggest interfacing perhaps they did not have it available. I just read this in my copy of<br />"Better Homes & Gardens, Sewing Book"<br />published in 1961.<br />Under the section regarding when to use interfacings it states: "Once, when you wanted to make a tailored dress you had to pick from fabric suitable for tailoring"<br /><br />maybe that sheds some light on that.<br />Either way, the new skirt looks great!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252111376555530552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-86796660602834044762009-07-12T21:39:35.670-04:002009-07-12T21:39:35.670-04:00WOW!!! i love it.
