Saturday I tested out the pillowcase pattern we wrote up for our beginning sewing class. Sharon, who is heading up our sewing classes, is something of a genius and taught me all kinds of smart things for these babies, like french seams. I had been making my pillowcases with raw seams because I didn’t care that much if the raw edges showed on the inside. But the French seams are so easy that even I, miss lazy sewer, is willing to do them. The pattern will be up as a free download on Tangle’s site soon.

(ps, Honor is sitting next to me doing his homework as I write this and he just asked me how to spell ‘christmas miracle’.)
