Major project update

My sampling fabric has arrived, four metres of white muslin, so I went out and bought a can of starch. I am going to research the fabrics properties and what shapes can be acheived.  I can see what happens to its structure when a stiffening agent is added. I will also dye some too, this will help me understand how intense a colour change would be and it will give me an idea of shrinkage, as making the fabric wet may lead to the width or length shrinking.
I will start tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it!!!
