I sewed for years but then life caught up with me and working two jobs I stopped. I am now going back to it and when I see a simple article like this I am reminded of some of the basics which I might still be doing but not in the proper way and yes there are some articles I skip as not being interesting to me -- but the mag and the site rock -- where else can you go to learn everything from the simple to Heirloom? My mother who was a Couture Sewer would have loved this site and mag! This was a great article for me, because although I trim I had forgotten the stacking part -- halfheimers!
