jpklehm Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well, I've waited until the last possible minute to finish my son's costume for the play he's in and now I have a question... What is interfacing? I need to put it in the middle of the two pieces of fabric for the neck so I'm thinking it's some kind of stiff material so the neck stands up? If so, can I use a stiff piece of fabric instead? This is a costume, after all, and will only be worn a handful of times, so if I can avoid a visit to Joanns at this time of night, I would appreciate it. Thanks for any help you can give me!!

LaxMom Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 My initial mental response was "Yes, in most municipaities, but some people still have private well and septic." :D Yes, interfacing adds body. Does it say the weight of interfacing? What kind of fabric is the costume? What sort of collar is it? You can probably do fine with a piece of stiffer fabric for a costume. It is, as you said, a costume after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpklehm Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 :rofl: Yes, I thought there may be some confusion...so funny! Thanks for the answers to my question. I have some stiffer fabric here that is similar in color, so I'll use it. Thanks again!! PAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, was thinking of drainage fields and clogged drains. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
