The pieces make up to one piece for the back and one for the front both of which you place on a fold. I didn’t change anything about the pattern apart from making it a bit longer. You need to add s…

More about marnieann
A dear friend gave me her grandmother's old machine in early 2011 and I am hooked. Sewing is so much faster than knitting and easier to get a good fit. The only other things I had ever sewed before were a pillowcase and a pot holder in highschool but with the help of you-tube and google, I am having some real success.
