K, a Latvian friend of mine who’s an accomplished quilter, suggested trying out a sewing project….
Turns out my sewing skills have neither increased nor decreased for lack of use. I am still an average seamstress….. but I *can* follow directions! (the part that tells me what to sew together with what — I obviously did NOT listen to the part in the directions that said to choose stiff fabric)
I have an ironon interfacing that might help to make the sides stiffer…Nice color of fabric.
