Do you know I have never used fold over elastic, it seems like a great idea for finishing knit dresses though. Where did you get it?

Heaven only know why there is only half a armhole facing! very strange.<br />I was also guilty of ambitious fabric purchases as a newcomer to sewing. I bought silk crepe de chine early on - obviously a lot of unknown unknowns to me then!Paolanoreply@blogger.com
