I, too, did not pay attention when my wonder-seamstress of a mom tried to teach me to sew. I wish I had 30-yr old Amy sitting on my shoulder saying watch! learn! back then. Also, good to hear the knits are not so scary.amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-77314278484791030772009-05-07T10:39:00.000-07:002009-05-07T10:39:00.000-07:00It's great that you have your mom to show you sewi...It's great that you have your mom to show you sewing tips ( I miss my mom...my sewing guru).

When I sewed that seam together, I just pinched a few pieces of the fabric to make the gather. There are specific instructions in the pattern about where to do the gathers, but I was impatient and just faked it and it worked fine.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211797571405802312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-70949687859146223922009-05-06T09:58:00.000-07:002009-05-06T09:58:00.000-07:00Very, Very, cute.
