Select a pattern designed for stretch fabrics

Lay the V-neck, spaghetti strap tank top on a clean, flat surface. Lay a ruler just below the bottom of the "V" and draw a line across the shirt. Cut across the shirt at this line. You can discard the bottom section of the shirt or save it for another project. Cut off the straps from the remainder of the shirt.

Pinch together the fabric at the bottom point of the cheap lingerie "V" and sew a few stitches through the pinched area to keep the shape.

Select a pattern designed for stretch fabrics. Look for simple seam construction if you are new to working with stretch-satin fabric.

Lay out your pattern, using the with nap layout suggested by your pattern. Use pattern weights instead of pins when cutting to avoid snagging or damaging your stretch satin.

Choose an invitation with a lacy background and an elegant script if the bride is young or a little bit shy. If you're making the invitations, cut out corset shapes from pink cardstock. Glue lace and ribbon to each corset shape. Add a cute poem, such as "Sue is going to be a Mrs., let's get her dressed for those wedding-night kisses!" Include the date, location and time of the shower underneath the poem.

Co-ed Invitations
If you're holding a co-ed shower, cover the front of the invitation with paper cutouts of boxer shorts, panties and bras. Include a note asking guests to bring matching sets of pajamas, robes, thongs and slippers for the bride and groom. Add a size guide for the groom, as well as the bride.

Gather all the items to pack. Separate heavier items. Roll jeans, fold sports coats and bag pairs of shoes. Place all heavier items into suitcase.

Roll lighter items. Tee shirts, shorts, and light pants are all rolled. Set these items into the suitcase firmly on top and next to each other. Place rolled socks into any small spaces left. Place lingerie and underwear into a lingerie bag. Flatten, roll and place into the suitcase.
