I like the way you are going about this and I totally agreed the prelim work is key to smooth sewing.<br /><br />I really understand more about lining drapes, curtains, and interior creations than clothes so this helps me a lot.Tommyhttp://blog.sewingmachinereviewer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-79017328331821231542011-04-18T18:39:24.009-04:002011-04-18T18:39:24.009-04:00Hi Julia: following along with your red linen dre...Hi Julia: following along with your red linen dress. Glad you are constructing it now, and hope the lining works out for you. I had to LOL when I saw your sewing table...so cleaned off! I have to take a cue from you and do the same with mine.Wendy TCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-59628343739381189332011-04-18T15:28:26.232-04:002011-04-18T15:28:26.232-04:00Welcome to the comments,Sarah J.!

I am in need of more shirts and a casual jacket or two so I will be checking your past entries for tips.<br />Have fun with the dress, I'm looking forwards to seeing it when it's finished.<br /><br />Best wishes, SarahSarah Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-25135115696475960242011-04-18T10:43:42.810-04:002011-04-18T10:43:42.810-04:00Thanks Sue!

But I have been sewing for about 35 years and I have learned a few things along the road.<br /><br />Hey, Su, welcome to my blog. There are a few key things in sewing and one of them is pressing. Press, press, press! I finally got a clapper and it's the bomb.<br />http://juliasewing.blogspot.com/2007/06/clapper.html<br />Also, a ham and a sleeve board are really useful for pressing. And if you think you've pressed enough, give it another shot of steam to be on the safe side.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-25496452149056958462011-04-18T09:26:27.542-04:002011-04-18T09:26:27.542-04:00Just wanted to say hi to another Ottawa blogger.
