And This Week's Lesson Learned........
If one is cutting out a thick fabric--say, a thinner fleece perhaps--if the layout instructions say to cut out 2 matching pieces on the fold, the squishiness of the fabric could be an even bigger factor than one originally thinks. Between the two collar pieces and the interfacing, I have three separate sizes here. REALLY separate sizes. Luckily, if I can get it away from Callisto, I have enough fabric to cut out more collar pieces, and this time laying the pattern piece flat so the two pieces will, I assume, come out to be the same size. One never knows for sure with sewing, but there's always hope in my heart that the Sewing Gods are in a good mood. Or have someone else to bother. Aside from this fairly major collar issue, Andy's Valentine Shirt progresses, and could actually be done by Saint Patrick's Day. We're flexible like that with holidays. So, I might have gotten so excited about all the cool new designs that I ordered more...
