Pintucks / Ironing On Seersucker Fabric?

Diba · 14 hours ago

It really depends. If your pintucks match up with the paving of the seersucker I think it would be a really nice effect. But the tucks may fight with the seersucker making puckers and waves. I would definitely do a sample piece of the tucks to see...

Pintucks / Ironing On Seersucker Fabric?

Anna_77 · 1 day ago

I have bought some lovely seersucker fabric for the first time. Should I iron it as a normal cotton? Does anyone know if a blouse pattern with pintucks will look good in seersucker fabric? I love the crisp yet sooft seersucker fabric and I don't...
