I think I'm going to start making muslin garments first (not because of the patterns, but my daughter has unusual anatomy that makes it hard to fit her and will cause me less heart ache in the end when I get to the finish line of making something for her in the cute designer fabric. Usually my problem is that it's too short, or if it buttons, it is too small around the belly and will not close, but fits perfectly in the chest/sleeves. I'm so looking forward to her surgery next year! Hopefully she'll be easier to fit after that :) ).
I know there are a billion different kinds of muslin, does it matter what kind I use, or will the cheapest stuff work fine?
