The trim was just too pretty and crocheted look for me not to put that on the edge.  Wear it down or throw it accross the shoulder. This kind of loose weave fabric can make fringe just by pulling the strings all the way accross.  I fringed two sides and left the selvage, but in the end I fringed the whole thing.   I love this fabric, for when I get chilly at work. 1 and 1 half yard makes it a square 54" by 54" - fold over and then cut up the middle. If you use Our Cashmere wool double sided fabric, you can just cut the fringe into the edge all the way around.  The two color gives a nice effect-I believe.  It is sooo soft and luxurious. Give a Ruana a try and then just throw it over your shoulder on one side and give it a head toss!😸

  Using this Pattern with a few tweeks  NEW LOOK 6305 Get out your friend the Iron-whatever you iron on-my case small ironing board and wool pressing mat.  My cardboard grid top to make my bed the sewing table, my pattern and my fabrics. Organize your area Our very helpful hams for hard to flat iron places I love these pin Grabbit magnets.  I have three.   I have a small space, but this allows me to keep one at each corner where I might need to pin something without losing the pins. Cutting two at a time.  Dresses will be really fast, and I want to wear the green outfit tomorrow.  I am drinking a big cup of coffee for full steam ahead, no pun intended.  But Yes, it is large-equal to 3 cups of coffee in a normal mug....need this to sew after I get home from work at 8 PM so I can have a new outfit to show you guys at work the next day. YES I CAN, and so can You! Motivation - Inspiration and -Persistance First cutting out two body curve dresses....

 Making Fitted blouse style in Multiples Get out your Hams (sleeve ham and body ham) and your Iron and mat or wool pressing pad. Pressing is important for cotton shirts. These lady fabrics are Cotton Lawn and Stretch cotton shirting. The pattern is a body curve which is what my mother likes. You are best equiped with a pressing cloth and iron. This is a comfortable flattering style, but it does have a lot of pieces.  You will need interfacing for the Button tab and the collar and cuffs if you are doing long sleeves. This is what I use (ShirTailor) on my collars, because it makes the points of the collars crisp and sharp.  I use regular fusible feather or midweight pellon for the cuffs and button tab. The blouse fabrics, I pin together and then cut out the pattern all at once I have 3 blouses ready to sew. Three fabrics pinned together and then cut out Blouses cut out and interfacing pieces ready to apply to necessary pieces First blouse part sewn together and seams finish...
