Pinging my favorite seamstress - Ellendra.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I’m not much of a seamstress, but your title had me in stitches.

[Roos_Girl]

Sorry, missed you the first time, but have you added to the list now.

[buckeye49]

The pleats are hanging nicely. Did you sew weights in the bottom hem?

[Hoffer Rand]

Please add me to your ping list. Thank you!!

[Roos_Girl]

Wasn’t clear from your previous responses if y’all actually wanted to be on the ping list or not? I did not include you, but let me know if you want to be added.

[Roos_Girl]

No weights at the bottom. They actually are just rectangular panels, no pleats or anything sewn in, but I lined them with a heavy blackout material and I think that’s why they hang as well as they do.

[Fightin Whitey]

Gonna have to post me a post post!

[Roos_Girl]

Gotcha!

[moose07]

No learning is a bad thing, promise I’ll sit quiet in the corner and listen. :)
(Yes , please) :)

Got a bunch of comedians around here.

My grand-daughter turns 3 this week, so grandpa made her a cloth doll out of scrap material. I've still got some work to do on it, but I've got until Saturday to finish up the face, etc...

I got the pattern off of a Japanese web site that I will NOT link to. The Japanese are strange, and I had to modify the pattern to make it appropriate for a 3 year old American girl.

I thought this was a thread about posting threads - a meta-thread.

[bunster]

Go ahead and call yourself a seamstress — what’s the alternative? A sewer? — that not good!

[Fightin Whitey]

lol

You are right.

A perfectly fine thread you have started and a buncha noisy schoolboys have snarled it all up.

But you know how these smart pretty seamstresses can hem a boy in and pin him down...

Well...I haven't done much sewing lately other than some routine maintenance, I'll contribute this thread I posted two years ago from the construction and painting of my Bedford Flag:

I lined them with a heavy blackout material

What exactly was that material? I have light filtering honeycomb blinds on a lot of my windows but would like to make some blinds or curtains that I could use in the event I wanted to shut out all light.

Also pinging our resident prepper thread keeper - hey Kart, some of the folks on the prepping list may be interested in Roos_Girl's new sewing thread. Sewing is a valuable skill for the self-reliant!
