As for hanging the skirt overnite before hemming, it is because the fabric (especially if cut on the bias) will relax a little and you could end up with an uneven hem.<BR/>I use a ziploc bag to put each pattern in, it's easy to see your pattern, it's more roomy than the original envelope and it is secure for all those little pieces you have.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576487047505755889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148410.post-36865582854425171912007-06-11T04:49:00.000-07:002007-06-11T04:49:00.000-07:00I have no clue about letting the skirt hang over n...I have no clue about letting the skirt hang over night.

If you're using a letter sized envelope, they will also fit really nicely into one of those plastic file storage totes from Staples or Officemax. That's where I keep mine.Aninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091917715539875575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148410.post-55146402805723778702007-06-06T14:02:00.000-07:002007-06-06T14:02:00.000-07:00So cute!

I have always heard that you should hem circle skirts by measuring from the floor (of course you need another person to do this) - does it tell you to do this also?jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01539853682026748936noreply@blogger.com
