The third step in this project is to test the compatibility level of the fabrics that I’ve chosen, although my cotton fabric is absorbent it does not serve my purpose, the concern is that the weight of the cotton fabric is more of an obstacle than I anticipated. Back to the drawing board, replacing the cotton fabric with a terry cloth for weight and feel purposes. The final cut means to drop the flannel stripes it does not serve my purpose, keep the flannel fabric it tells a story, is colorful and soft this is a wrap, it’s time to start to get to work on this baby robe.

The next step of our new baby robe is the feel of the fabric when it comes in contact with the most important client in the world. Baby first of course. The first test failed, so the next fabric swatch has to be considered, the original mint green fabric has some level of softness but really not what I’m after. Back to the inventory on hand, my fifth choice is another piece of mint green fabric simply because after laundering a swatch the piece of fabric was softer. The exterior of my product is flannel so I feel good about that choice. I added a third selection of fabric, so let’s see how all it all comes together.

The products were working on this week is a reversible baby robe, the first step and most important for me is the choice of fabric; it needs to be something bright not blinding, colorful, fragrance free and appealing to the eye. The fifth fabric combination is featured below.

When you decide what your sewing project for the day is going to be, thread your machine, cut a small piece of fabric to work with, test your thread and tension to be sure you have the correct thread weight for your sewing project before you go ahead. If your fabric is yielding a gathered piece of fabric on a straight stitch, first adjust your tension, if the issue remains your thread could be the problem. A quick trip to the fabric store with your sample is a good idea to find the right type of thread for your project.
