Muslin is the milk and butter for a seam stresser’ fabric stash. It may be the plainest and humblest of fabrics, without it I can’t imagine the situation would have been? We use it for backgrounds, backing, sleeves and linings. The smallest of scraps can be used to stuff small toys. Homemade muslin bags are perfect for storing our precious blankets, sheets, shawls, leftover muslin strips can be sewn along the edges of your khes(course cotton cloth) while its being hand made. The muslin protects the batting and the extra fabric around the batted object’s edge make it easier to use your hoop when doing the boarders. isn’t it wonderful that this versatile fabric is also inexpensive.
‘ I save all my muslin scraps and toss them in a basket. I made use of those muslin pieces padding these squares.
both the sides are identical pieces of fabric for each square....
Fun way to block the squars......
all padded up with the sheer Muslin ...the great...
isn't it........
