Jan. 1st, 2005 07:17 pmThe (fabulously gorgeous) fabric is laid out, the pattern is pinned -- dare I cut?
This pattern looks much better, and I guess if anything goes really wrong, I've plenty of fabric to start over with. The trouble with yardage is just that: it's yardage. When I see 1.5, I automatically think in metric, so I buy 1.5m and am surprised at how much left over there is. It depends what brand of pattern, too, because some of them have both measurements and some only have one and I never think to check. It doesn't really matter, though. It's too much trouble to convert to metric and if there are any remnants, I can always use them for something else.
