Greetings fellow costumer,
For the past several weeks, we've been focusing on how to sew tricky fabrics like chiffon, lycra and glitter-dot. No matter what kinds of costumes you make, you're bound to run into these challenging materials sooner or later. Do you have some great tips for working with them? Head over to the forum and let us know.

We've also been looking at beads--specifically, making your own beaded appliques and beaded fringes and trim. All the newest articles are waiting for you on the site. Hope to see you there!

Until soon,
Julie
