Re: How to Place Pattern Pieces Straight on the Grainline

I so admire you new sewers on making your own patterns. The very first one I did was for Home Ec in high school. We had an assignment to made clothing and my dad said we couldn't afford a pattern or fabric. My mom found me some fabric she had and I designed a dress. It was fairly simple, but it was proportioned properly and it fit. When I got my grade back from my teacher it was a C. Her comment was "very unusual". Ever since then I've had trouble designing anything. I love to sew and I do a lot of it and it looks like a pro did it. Only wished......I just noticed the site at the bottom of the page. Think I'll check it out.

Re: Great Fabric – Not Necessarily By-the-Yard

I have even used curtain fabric for projects that I couldn't find what I needed for what I was working on. And like you said, "got it for a song".
