Learning to sew on your own is quite challenging! What better way than to have a company like Threads publish up-to-date information and instruction for a novice like me????? I look forward to each and every publication.....keep them coming!

Having sewn most of my life, I still felt like I needed some professional instruction to make those "creations" even better. The classes that I have recently taken in Little Rock, Arkansas have been wonderful. Besides the ever so important "fitting the garments" and the right way to construct, serging is stressed as so important. Learning to sew the right way has made a huge difference in the outcome of a project. I hope I am the lucky winner of the Baumgartel book!

How does the instructions work with a pleat at the bottom of the skirt? I want to line a straight skirt that has a simple pleat, center back.
