Embellishing ideas for pillows, scarfs, curtains, re-purposing, easy ruching. They leave edges mostly un-finished but use your decorative stitches around hems and sleeves, so this would be great for you beginning young 'uns wanting quick, funky summer wear. The most useful thing I like is the basic A-line skirt and they suggest using big men's T's. I had cut up some nice thick men's golf shirt finds for my GS's summer shorts and realized that a shirt is wide enough for a women's A-line too! Good news when local knits are non-existant and menswear has nicer fabric and subdued prints. Whoops on the sp, I was having my evening wine...blush! -- Edited on 6/7/12 4:15 PM --
