doll club meeting today. I learned a new way to do gathering with zigzag on the sewing maching…
We worked on turning hands, especially focusing on the fingers. After several tries I discovered I did better when I did NOT use the fray-check! I now have a pair of hands for my last gourd head that needs a body.
