I am not a terrific seamstress, but I do know how to sew. I made a lot of the girls' halloween costumes when they were little - in fact, I guess that's pretty much what I sew, costumes.
We're attending a Sock Hop themed party later this month, so I'm making skirts for Kristen and myself. No, not poodle skirts - Boston Terrier skirts.
We were at the fabric store last weekend. Pattern, check. Felt, check. Thread, check. Zippers, check. Size... WHAT?
