One problem with mockups i always have is finding a mockup fabric for heavier fabrics. Since anything that's not a plain cotton is terribly expensive where i live, making a mockup for something made out of say wool is quite expensive. What fabrics could be used for dupes? Or maybe ways to repurpose the mockup fabric would be nice to hear you talk about. :)

I am a spinner and weaver and I am working on a cotton mock up before I risk my precious handspun yarns of linen and wool to make sure my weaving ideas work well. One idea I have is doing a neckline that is woven in using a waste yarn to fill in for the negative space. Have you ever heard of this type of weaving technique used in medieval history? I am currently looking for extant examples of woven in necklines on tunics for both men and women.

How to use bedsheets (or other non fabric store fabrics) to produce mock ups (fabric is expensive and discount 2nd hand sheets are not)

Advice/strategies for doing fittings on yourself when you don't have a dress form or friend to help? How particular should you get with closures at this stage when they affect the fit to some degree (like a zipper in the back of a dress)?

How many mockups are too many? I feel like I always feel the need to make a whole new mockup(if the draft was too small) in stead of piecing together to get a real sense of the shape, but at the same time I don’t want to use so much fabric

Lol seeing this just now. Weird, didn’t come up before. And with only 2 hrs warning, I would have been asleep (was 5 am and it was ending so would have about 2am that you posted this up in Melbourne AU time) Hopefully I catch the next live earlier in the stream 😅

Going live in 2 hours (10 am Pacific) to chat about Mock-ups! There were a lot of questions in the comments on my most recent video, and I thought it might be fun to answer them live! Do you have any questions you'd like to add on the topic of Mock-ups?
