If you can't find this number, you can ask someone at the store to help you. <br /><br />That is how you will know whether you need to buy 2 3/8 of a yard or 1 3/4 of a yard. <br /><br />I hope that helps! <br /><br />All the best,<br />GwenGwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953347562329586677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704085174347222254.post-14329938443930828302015-03-02T01:04:10.675-05:002015-03-02T01:04:10.675-05:00hello, im a newbie to sewing..

Whenever I get down, just sitting with my <a href="http://www.sewing.net/usedsewingmachines.html" rel="nofollow"> Florida used sewing machines</a> just brings me the calm serenity that I need.

I am making a flower girl's frock and have made the bodice and tule skirt but I ended up sewing the shoulder seams last (duh!) because I couldn't fathom how to do this! Alas the bride changed her mind about using the satin with matt side as right side and now I have had to cut it all again to show shiny satin side as right side. At least my rework will now not be in vain, as I can make the second version properly.

As you probably know, the most common method of transportation is by bicycle, and culottes are a terrific alternative to pants, dressier but less revealing than a dress or skirt. Could you possibly post a table for a simple single pleat above the knee, below the knee and calf length culotte similar to Butterick #4389 and to the fuller dressier Burda pattern 4962.elaine masurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174902759903034783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704085174347222254.post-22769060304379042692012-09-07T06:52:49.177-04:002012-09-07T06:52:49.177-04:00I'm so glad that light is coming back!
