Raised beds make sense this year, that’s for sure, Valerie. It’s highly likely that the need for them has passed already, but one never knows what weather will bring.

I would consider raised beds

Comment on Reposting My Posts ~ ?Really? ~ by Carolyn

I agree, it is a terribly rude and invasive thing to do. I was directed to this post by one of my readers, since the same thing has been happening to me; except I do not have a WP blog, and the other blogger is simply copying and pasting ENTIRE posts, using my photos of my own sewing creations, AND my image and signing them as her own work. I found at least a dozen of my posts on her blog and I think she’s done it to other people too. I’m still investigating how I can stop her…

Too funny! I love it. Interesting how our perception is shaped by our expectations and frame of reference, no?

I’d love to do this if I just knew what an aggregator was. You’ll have to excuse me, I’m a non-blogger. : )

Thanks Mary Beth, I have just finished drafting the basic pattern. I will now make next muslin. I will keep your advice in my minde
And I really hope that my grain lines remain straight

In adjusting for this problem, Beatta, it is good to think of it as “too much fabric” in the crotch area. Good luck with your adjustments and may your grain lines always remain straight! (that’s new saying from The Stitchery LOL)

Comment on Less-Stress Lining Technique in Pictures by Mary Beth

Yeah, 3 years later I finally reply, Kathleen. My apologies! I have tested it well.... After wearing this coat for the past 3 years I have found it to NOT pull in any way. This is the best lining I have ever had in a coat. But I wish the coat fabric were better: it's threads break in just the simplest, non-stressful, walking down the street kind of wearing. I have never experienced that before in a fabric so the coat doesn't get the kind of devoted use and wear all the work I put into it warrants.
