You can use t-shirt fabric. Use old t-shirts or knit sheets from the thrift store. These that I made are from a 4-way stretch from a thrift store. When I bought it retail, it was in with the fashion knits for swimsuits and dance material. I don't choose the shiny fabrics, but the options that have a matte finish. But you can pick whatever you'd like. Truly, the 4-way stretch fabrics in the dance apparel will work better than 2-way stretch knits (like for t-shirts), BUT I know that people use old t-shirts for undies, too. Have fun!

About all we have around here is wal-mart, and I have never seen any there that I thought would work. Were do you find the fabric for you undies?

Commercial over.... I have to shift and re-grind, and repeat, then I get a medium grind product. I will have to save up for a real grinder *grin* So the wet method might work better... who knows. Like you say ~ I'll have to do more experimenting. Hi Wardeh, I am using The Ultimate Chopper! Commercial over…. I have to shift and re-grind, and repeat, then I get a medium grind product.

I have never made anything fancy, like a wedding dress ~ that is quite an accomplishment and you should be proud! It does take a bit to get used to working with knits, BUT if you have a serger and if you get used to it, you'll find it easier than anything else. They're amazingly forgiving and fun to make and fun to wear! If you ever want to try, I'd be happy to help you. And if I ever make a wedding dress for my daughter, I know who to call! :) Bethany ~ perhaps too bold :) I am still embarassed about it.

How are you grinding the sprouted grains? Jami – oh, I’d like to try those beverages soon!

Only the dehydrated for now, I can barely manage that :-) I get so discouraged with cooking when things don't work out, and baking isn't my thing. So I want to get using this strange different flour down cold before I try and get tricky. Remember I have never made bread that wasn't a garden decoration (rock!) We have started our ginger soda culture! Very excited about that.... I want to make root beer and ginger beer (really sodas). Finally - something easy! Thanks for all the encouragement! Love, Jami wheat/rye Sprouted – Dehydrated & Ground – Yes.

You're so bold, Wardeh. Not with showing the undies but just making them. It seems difficult somehow. I make my wedding dress, but undies...that seems too hard. Why is that? I guess it's that I've never worked with stretchy fabrics and only have limited experience with knits. You're inspiring. .-= Bethany´s last blog ..<a href="http://harrisonfarm.com/archives/water-play" rel="nofollow">Water Play</a> =-. Wow. You’re so bold, Wardeh.

I love hearing about what you're doing in the kitchen. Did you use the sprouted wheat/rye dehydrated and ground or wet? I'm glad you like the muesli, please share the spices you use! We all have to console ourselves with what we'll do sometime... not enough time in the day, is there? Love ya! Jami ~ Thanks! I love hearing about what you’re doing in the kitchen.

I love the color of pink! Your making me long for sewing again - but alas, I wear to many hats . . . . However, my cooking experiments have been doing better with all the time I've been throwing at them.... I tried your biscuits with my sprouted/soaked wheat/rye and they turned out very nice. Didn't get the rise you did, but very nice all the same. So next we made the soaked oats (Mu.... something). Great breakfast, we love it! Going to try some different spices next time just for fun. I have lots left over. So I'll console myself with cooking for now and dream of sewing in the future :-D Looking forward to seeing the girls tops . . . . Very Nice! I love the color of pink!
