Sewing Tip Newsletter Editor: Mary Wilkins URL: www.sew-whats-new.com Creating With Needle & Thread Good morning everyone, it is nice to be back with everybody. It is supposed to be a beautiful, warm day here in Halifax. I really hope so, we have had some very frosty mornings here lately. Today my sewing tip is really a couple of sewing definitions. When you hear someone talking about the "drape" of a fabric, what they are referring to is how it hangs or falls from a bolt, dressform or the human body. When someone refers to the "hand" of a fabric they speak of the actual feel and texture of a fabric. Comments are more than welcome. Until tomorrow, happy sewing everyone.

There's a great article in the newest Threads magazine on understanding the "hand of the fabric" in case anyone is interested. Marty
