The directions on Simplicity confuse the me to no end!

The pleated shoulders look wonderful, and are not the easiest thing to sew, so go you! Could it be that the little wrinkle in the V is caused by not cutting it in completely to the thread on the inverse side? It's definitely not very noticeble though, and I might just have to get the crazy awesome fabric too.

I can almost hear Bing Crosby crooning in the background. Congratulations on the sewing persistence and fabbie little cuckoo clock ornaments!<br />You so bring back my happiest childhood memories of crafting and creating with my mucho-talented artist and art teacher mom. She would have loved what you did with those little boxes and sticks. She lived for Christmas and started in late November with the crafts, carols, and clip earrings - a different pair to wear for every day until Christmas. Thanks for stoking my Christmas prepping inspiration! <br />Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889770804609252744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-19707990106572283632012-11-20T20:00:03.101-08:002012-11-20T20:00:03.101-08:00I feel as if we've known each other for years ...I feel as if we've known each other for years -- we talk about irritations in exactly the same way! Once I was making a smock top and couldn't figure out the Simplicity explanation, so I called an expert sewer who came with 18-year-old twin daughters (who sew) in tow. When THEY couldn't figure it out, I threw away the pattern!

I'm still at the low intermediate sewist level, so I would probably be just as frustrated. Also, your hair and ornaments are both great too!<br />Tessa @ Lighting the World on Firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535786116320009238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-18945188252911074492012-11-20T19:33:22.792-08:002012-11-20T19:33:22.792-08:00Oh, I love that you have a pink Christmas tree!!!!...Oh, I love that you have a pink Christmas tree!!!!
