I probably would have done the same thing - I'm pretty used to running a little close on fabric and have a few tricks up my sleeve.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-70725658374545663362010-10-28T14:39:40.905-04:002010-10-28T14:39:40.905-04:00Bunny In museums, I've see a few couture garme...Bunny In museums, I've see a few couture garments by famous names. I was surprised at how often they would choose to piece something. If you weren't looking for it, you couldn't find the piecing. So I'm sure you're in good company.sdBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631048121680395678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-89901402359529520052010-10-28T07:54:29.850-04:002010-10-28T07:54:29.850-04:00"Putting up" or "putting food by&qu..."Putting up" or "putting food by" is a matter of taking today's bounty and saving it for the day when it is unavailable fresh. It is also a money saver as you can see by the price of the carrots. It is the only way our Amish friends eat all winter. They can their meats as well as make wonderful jams and preserves. It's something I have always enjoyed. However, I would love to eat fresh all the time but our climate won't allow. <br /><br />Digs, the fabric is not a real CC. It is a boucle from Banksville. They have a huge variety to choose from and you just tell them the colors or style you want and they will swatch it out for a small fee.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-58313598724905951262010-10-28T07:37:05.749-04:002010-10-28T07:37:05.749-04:00That jacket is going to be some gorgeous.

It's too wet.<br /> I'm also lost on the jacket as I have never even heard of your method, but I've enjoying learning from you. Yes, I'm from the backwards South. LOL Or maybe I've had my life so tied up teaching for the past 20 years that I missed out on a lot of stuff.<br /> Blogging has sure been educational and entertaining.ShirleyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977213395999971029noreply@blogger.com
