There are many other non-fray methods but in the old days, every lady had a pair of pinking shears in her sewing box!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-33571794863544433382010-08-12T07:00:19.976-04:002010-08-12T07:00:19.976-04:00Can not wait for this tutorial to start off to fin...Can not wait for this tutorial to start off to find the pattern and fabric during my lunch hour today.Pameladawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520515524177471303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-52473040704044433942010-08-11T17:49:03.578-04:002010-08-11T17:49:03.578-04:00I was wondering about pinking shears.

The whole apron was thrown in the rag bag. I guess I will have to dig it out and give another try. Scallops also defeat me--they just never have a pretty curve to them when I finish.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640144254161404908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-20927292027494085122010-08-08T20:52:19.418-04:002010-08-08T20:52:19.418-04:00my local fabric store will have butterick patterns...my local fabric store will have butterick patterns on sale this week for $1.99.
