"Excellent advice. Also, make sure to finish all seams neatly, either with pinking shears or overcast stitching."

"In 'How to sew a quilt", #3, sew which direction? #5, again which direction or side? #12,which way, how much? #15, Huh? That "explanation" was not informative to me and I've done miles of sewing. How is this for the beginner? Where are the pictures? At least there should be one picture of what your description will make, the way you are directing. So confusing."

"You cannot get a handmade costume much easier than this! Turn a rectangle of fabric into a simple witch cape, perfect for Halloween! This project is wonderful for beginner sewists and only takes around 1 hour to sew! Hem the sides of a black rectangle and sew an easy casing onto one long side. Sew "patches" of colorful scrap fabric onto the cape to give it a faux-tattered look. String a ribbon into the casing and you're ready to gather the edge and fasten it around your neck!"
