Thank you @justsewit , a new lens prescription and the advice to keep an eye on her. No drops today but I can understand your little mans reluctance, the Twins said they do sting a bit.

@dubhels2003 I am sorry for her. I can remember Chicken Pox and bathing with a calico sachet of oats in the water.

I am heading to the city so shall have good internet for the day but not for a fun reason. Lidia (11) is having vision problems and I ranG her ophthalmologist and he wanted to see her ASAP.

@EllenMCM it was a really good sew.

I was able to cut a Roller skate tunic size ten out of one yard this afternoon:)

I love what this clever girl has done

The elegant colours with the white hem and white pocket tops. Just lovely!

Awesome Heidi. You are a brick!

I have not made this gorgeous dress with the sleeves but I will try and help. My apologies if I am not much use.

When the sleeves are cut, you should have two, mirrored, if you placed your pattern on the fabric, double layered, right sides together.

The notches would be invaluable here so that you can determine front and back.

Janice, I used the size that their measurements corresponded to. It worked out well!;)

When fitting jeans, I sew the crotch seam first and then fit the side seams. I was given the tip from a clothing designer, it works really well.
