| I have had the material for a year. Picked up an easy pattern.. I get so frustrated sewing, I want it don't fast so pick easy-to-sew patterns. The pattern said sew in 2 hours, but I guess I work slow. I prewash the material, iron the pattern pieces, use a million pins to pin every thing and mark, mark. It took me from about 6 to 11:30 PM. |

| Found this a my Hancocks-- thought for under $3 give it a try. |
 |
| Automatic needle threader, the more myopic I get, the more help I need. |
 |
| Laying out and cutting ... |
 |
| Demo-- put thread thru hole |
 |
| Pull the pin out through the open end, |
 |
| Pull thread length out and cut. Done. Thumbs UP from Jill!!! It came loaded with 6 needles. You take it apart and reload the needles and threader when empty. HINT: don't use magnetized needles, they don't cooperate to easily. |
 |
| The finished skirt. I have tons of black and white tops. Paired it with black tights and wore to work the next day. The length is about 2 inches above my knee, just at my comfort zone when sitting, my next one I will add a few inches to the bottom (or top??). It fits, but probably will go up to the next size when I use it again. Years since I have altered a pattern, know there is a 'correct' way to do it. |
