I will pin her down Britters, I don’t think I have ever so anyone something and received such an ecstatic result.
It is so nice.

I would slash and spread along the middle of the buttock and mark the point on the facing adding the same amount to that.

Is there a direction written to place one side on a fold?

Good on you Heidi. I donated a tub of cut out WIP’s last year. Very cathartic. I am like an ex-smoker now. I cut-I sew. I am terrified of going back to that!

Tonight I finished Zara’s Lisette Moto jacket (B6169). We went with the size 6 with an inch off the waist. Zara chose the leftovers from Hugo’s jacket, charcoal wool and we splurged on some…[Read more]
