How did you know, Myr?  Are you Big Brother and have you been spying on me?  😜 

Please don't confuse muslin with muslim.  They refer to totally different things.  One is a cotton fabric and the other is a believer or one that follows the Islamic religion.

Muslin is made from cotton and is light weight and breathable.

 

Breathable - does that mean we can all breathe it in or does it have lungs?  🤡

Clothing designers often craft their original models in muslin first before rendering them in the intended fabric. It's both cheaper and easier  to work with.
