Today is Setting Orange, day 73 in the season of The Aftermath, 3268.

One of the things I'm determined to do in the next year is learn how to sew. This conveniently overlaps with Joann's having dress forms on sale for $70 off. It's a sign, I tell you.

(Oh, and tomorrow is 99-cent Simplicity pattern day too.)

Yes - always clearly mark your sewing scissors to they are never used for anything else! Also make sure that they are comfortable in your hand as it's easy to rub blisters if you're cutting out many pieces at once.

Also good for starting - pins and pincushion (and store in a plastic bag/tupperware so your cat can't get at them). Hand sewing needles, tape measure, and tailor's chalk/blue marking pen.

Taking your measurements correctly is a must - I have this slick little chart that lists every concievable measurement known to man. Again, I can help if needed.
