I did that toilet paper thing too. But thanks heavens it is all gone and I learned a lesson! Stick with what I know is soft! There are some things you just shouldn't change regardless of the price!

I notice that they always have great deals on diapers. That's awesome you won so much! Great idea to use them as gifts. Spending can seriously get out of control. It's always a battle. Good luck!

Lucky you! And that's the cheapest I've ever seen Kraft M&C. "Stay Stitching": when you make something with a fabric that has a lot of stretch, and might go out of shape on you, you do a line of stitching around any curved edges like the neckline or armholes, before you put the pieces together. In other words, through a single layer of fabric, and slightly inside the seam line (for example, 1/2" from the edge if you're doing 5/8" seams--I usually just eyeball it.) This helps the garment to 'stay' in its original shape and not get all wonky. Since the most stretch in your skirt would be around the waistline (which, in turn, would stretch out at the hips), I would do the staystitching there. I hope this helps with your project, because it's too pretty for you to give up on it! Hey, thanks for visiting my blog! Two prizes, wow! Lucky you! And that’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen Kraft M&C.
