and the apron for my mother-in-law. Thanks for the old jeans, Mom! The Princess even got a matching one entirely of pockets!!!What I learned:
- Tie dye really does stain stuff. It also washes out a lot, so the colors you start with are not what you will get. It's worth a try though and really fun, if you stop worrying about how many colors your little person will be by the end. There's more to share, but maybe another time.
- When cutting a square, say, around a pocket, maker sure to leave lots of room for the seam. These are called flat felled seams, I think, and are like the double seam in jeans, where there is no rough edge. It's done by putting the two wrong sides together, staggered slightly, so that the longer edge can roll over the other and a second seam holds it together.
