CJ Dress - Fabric & Pattern Instructions

As promised here are the results of the pretreating tests.  I cut three 3" squares like Christine suggests.  Then I washed and dried one swatch with another piece of fabric that I was pretreating.  I left one swatch alone and the final swatch I steamed the heck out of by hovering my iron over it and pushing the steam button.

So here are the results:

...the washed piece...

...the steamed piece...

Since there was no change to the fabric, I'm just going to cut the dress out from the fabric as it is and proceed from there.

The other thing I wanted to share with you is the patten instructions.  You know how we all complain about pattern instructions and how they aren't complete...I just don't think I'm going to find that with Christine's pattern.  Here's what comes in the pattern envelope:

And look at how clear the pictures are and how the instructions are written:

There's no way you are getting lost or twisted here!  I'm working on the dress so I will have another update shortly...

Also, if you haven't used the coupon code at Christine's site, it is good until the dress is finished and I can pretty much guarantee that will be Monday...so if you were thinking about getting a pattern or two, I would mosey on over now and make it happen!

...as always, more later!
