I'm really interested in trying to make my own as all of my tartans are obscure tartans that hardly anyone has and if they do I've gotta pay 500 bucks or more to get it. So this would be a big help if I could make my own after buying my own material. Please point me in the right direction.
:confused:
Barb's book is invaluable. I think I've read it cover to cover 5 or 6 times. There are some good articles in the DIY section that you can read that will help too.
Don't be afraid to use alternative fabrics while you are learning. It's much better to make mistakes on $6 a yard fabric than the $80 a yard tartans. Some of these can look quite good too.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you make!
