Re: Kind of OT: Vogue Patterns?

Oh Cindy, what a shame.
For anyone else looking at doing a pattern, *any* pattern, just like with an exam. paper - read through the whole thing first.

We've all done it, I know >g<.

I always wanted to do Heirloom sewing. I love the tiny pintucks and
smocking and delicate lace and embroidery.

So I buy a Vogue pattern for the most beautiful newborn christening gown.

I cut out the bodice and mark the embroidery. I use silk embroidery floss
and do a very fine job, if I do say so.

When I move on to the next step, I see that I was supposed to do the
pintucks BEFORE I did the embroidery.

No where in the previous instructions do they tell me to do that.

I wadded the whole thing up and stuck it in a cupboard.


*^(*^&%&^%^_& Vogue patterns!
