Pattern of the Month This cute high-waisted pant or short has been a Treadle favorite! Elastic in the back keeps the fit easy, and the angled pockets are a fun and interesting detail. This pattern is 15% off through the month of June! Reg $ 22.95 Sale $ 19.50 Our Melissa wore hers to work the other day and let me snap a photo, as long as her face didn't have to be in it. Still, you can see how great her pants turned out! Plus check out Laura's cute chambray shorts version! Have you made the Pietra pant? What did you think? |

Friday Fun Fact! Let's talk about stay-stitching. Often the first step in sewing directions, the job of a stay-stitch is to prevent the fabric edge stretching and warping. It's usually done on a curved area such as a neckline, armhole, or waistline. Here's what you need to know about stay-stitching: * It's done through only ONE layer - you're not joining any pieces yet, just reinforcing. * Check your directions for seam allowance! A stay-stitch is usually done at a smaller allowance than the seamline, and necklines can specify as little as 1/4". Listen to your pattern. |
* Use a normal length straight stitch. * Go in the direction of the arrows, if any. This might mean doing two passes. * It doesn't matter which side of the fabric is facing up. Check out all our Friday Fun Facts in the archive here! |
