Yeah we've made progress. I just haven't got around to posting any pics yet It's just been so discouraging with the bodysuit situation :facepalm ... hard to keep the motivation with that going on. Plus I've been working on other stuff.

We put about 3 tablespoons of the grated soap into a bowl of hot water to mix it and then put it in the washer on warm wash/cold rinse, gentle cycle. Then just lay it out flat on a piece of plywood and staple it down and let dry. You don't have to stretch it too far but it will stretch about an inch or so.

It doesn't hurt the lambskin. It seemed to really help while she was sewing the gloves.... which are not easy to sew
Again, I'm no expert but this is something we learned and ultimately I wanted to do a full on test before telling everyone here however, I haven't made that much progress.

[QUOTE="MonCal, post: 39549, member: 149"] Yeah we've made progress. I just haven't got around to posting any pics yet ;) It's just been so discouraging with the bodysuit situation :facepalm ... hard to keep the motivation with that going on. Plus I've been working on other stuff. We put about 3 tablespoons of the grated soap into a bowl of hot water to mix it and then put it in the washer on warm wash/cold rinse, gentle cycle. Then just lay it out flat on a piece of plywood and staple it down and let dry. You don't have to stretch it too far but it will stretch about an inch or so. It doesn't hurt the lambskin. It seemed to really help while she was sewing the gloves.... which are not easy to sew ;) Again, I'm no expert but this is something we learned and ultimately I wanted to do a full on test before telling everyone here however, I haven't made that much progress.
