Now that I see them in grey on you, I do like them. I never would have tried them based on the photo on the pattern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-40571201029603882932011-10-12T18:04:03.812-04:002011-10-12T18:04:03.812-04:00I would FIGHT you for this suit!

One thing that I have found to be helpful is to press on a hard surface. I have one of those wooden forms with a curved top and straight bottom. It's about 2" thick. I cannot for the life of me remember it's name but I saw it in an old Threads article on pressing and my dh cut it out of piece of butcher block we had left from a sink cutout.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-41614619712508137032011-08-08T09:29:17.978-04:002011-08-08T09:29:17.978-04:00Yes, the sleeves are great!
