One armed paper hanger and not sewing.. :( BTW, tiny laugh. When I looked at that first pic I wondered...what is that string all over that dress. Then realized it was the southern matriarch thingie.

I've done some, but not much.<br />Bessie Mary looks great. It would be wonderful to meet you and/or her and have lunch.<br />I'm so sorry that little miss was feeling badly, but glad she perked up the next day. <br />She is adorable in the mardi gras outfit!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097054119585201394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898436565218178652.post-38558897764319490392011-02-22T20:25:16.645-06:002011-02-22T20:25:16.645-06:00Thank you for your prompt answer to my preshrinkin...Thank you for your prompt answer to my preshrinking question!!<br /><br />Another question.....can you do a tutorial on how to put a bishop through a pleater successfully? I have 3 different pleaters and I nearly lose my religion each time I have to pleat anything but an insert. Where I get into trouble is about a few inches from the neckline where it starts to curve into the underarm area. Where am I supposed to put all that excess fabric???janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506113042945780148noreply@blogger.com
