Once again it is Wednesday and I actually remembered today. Lol
I'm going to give you a few sewing terms to see if you know the definitions.
I will also give you a hint; I found all these terms online.
1. What does baste or tack mean? The term tack is used it England.
2. What does casing mean when used in sewing?
3. What does darning mean?
4. Explain the term gathering.
5. What is a hem?
6. Describe a seam.
7. Do you know what the words selvage means?
Feel free to try to answer some or all of these and please share your
answers. I promise, it will be fun.
Nella
