Chizimi Shrinking Thread

I have been working on this garment for the Sewing & Stitchery Expo Pink/Red Fashion Show:

It is a Brief Escape jacket. I have used Chizimi Shrinking Thread to change the texture of the collar. I used matching thread in the machine and the shrinking thread in the bobbin. I stitched lines in a grid about 1/2" apart. The fabric needs to be large enough to shrink 30%. I then held the iron approximately 2" above the piece and steamed it. It's fun to see it shrink right before your eyes. I steamed it a second time to make sure all the shrinking had taken place. Once it cooled, I cut out my collar pieces and continued construction. This is a product you could use to do all sorts of interesting stitching for different effects.

FEEDBACK
I am doing an Independent Study at Cabrillo College this summer. I'm calling it, 'Exploring Saf-T-Pockets Patterns'. What fun I will have. Thank you for such innovative patterns.

TRAVEL TIPS
Before you leave home, get a small amount of currency from the country you will be visiting. This makes it easier if you need money for a taxi or telephone call before you check into a hotel. The exchange rate at your hotel will not be as good as a local bank or cash machine.
