damn it, this advice is way too late, but:
a good source for a variety of white fabrics (including rayon challis) is Dharma Trading (www.dharmatrading.com). They intend you to dye the stuff, but it works just as well white, and the prices are pretty reasonable considering there’s no minimums. They ship fast, too. Get the swatch books, they’re fun to have on hand.

I guess Jess and I are gonna have a crack at this blouse. It looks like a maze of madness tehe. I’m preparing to embarrass myself royally. What you call nippers I call snips. Is it a regional thing? 50 percent of my day is spent with snips in my hand. I have always said, I need to just have a pair transplanted into one hand so I’m never without. Edward Snipperhands.

I hang my nippers on a cord around my neck. I don’t recall hearing them called snips but it only makes sense that people could and would. Interesting, now I’ll have to check the catalog and see what they’re actually called, lol. I wonder what SouthStar calls them.

I would also like to tag along in this exercise – I wouldn’t call this a competition, mostly because it would be rather hard to establish a winner. (Besides, any participants will win the experience of having done this.)

I do have a problem, though: my resources are limited and I doubt I will be able to get my hands on some white rayon (damn those floral prints!). I would have to choose between using: 1) plain white cotton, which won’t drape well 2) some white fabric of questionable fibre content, which will appear to have the right behaviour or 3) white cotton jersey, which would work well with the design but would call for different sewing/finishing techniques and would probably be too forgiving fitting-wise. Any suggestions/guidance?

Anyway, at least as far as paper goes I will be able to stick to the guidelines – or should I say, the rules!
