I folded a pillow sham in half, sewed the sides closed, then did a little angle across the corners at the top of the machine. I didn't even cut the sham, in case I want to use it as a sham again.
I decided to use the bottom sheet to cut our the first tunic. It just couldn't bear to let those lovely seamed edges go to waste. I cut off the elastic and corner seams. It's too big for my bed anyway.
I got out the pattern pieces I will need and ironed them, but that's enough for today.
Tomorrow I'll pin and cut out. It should be fairly quick as there are only 4 pieces, front, back, and front and back facings.
Tomorrow is Sunday, so I should be able to take this downstairs where they have more table room for cutting out.
The pattern has a wide range of sizes, so I'll cut it out for the largest size, baste the front, back and shoulders together and try it on. If I need to I can alway cut it smaller.
