Happy Columbus Day ! Or ‘random
day for banks and stuff to be closed’ for most of the rest of us. DFIL checked
the mail four times before I reminded him. I hate to correct anybody when it’s
gonna be embarrassing…
Kind of a boring day. Did
dishes and prowled through my library books. We went to another ‘games day’ at
the Library Thursday, so I have some new ones ! Too bad the sewing ones weren’t
too useful. Oh, and speaking of ‘not useful’, I sent for the ‘secret to sewing
doll clothes’ video from this
place. The ‘big secret’ was to sew flat, i.e., sew hems on items before
they’re sleeves and pant legs. You know, something most of us have done without
thinking for years. Heck, follow the directions on most commercial patterns,
and they all pretty much tell ya the same thing. She’s since offered me Secrets
#2 and #3, but I think I’ll pass. You can buy her whole package for just under
$50. – which includes eight easy American Girl patterns !
I decided to try to make my
own pattern, for a simple MH camisole.
First attempt didn’t go well. Armscryes are too big and too much towards the
back, and it was too big everywhere else, too. For something so simple, I’m not
having as easy a time with it as I thought I would !
