Thanks Deborah, got it....

Many of you have purchased your material, so we thought in order not to be a high pressure project that I would post and answer questions as to the Victorian Santa's robe so that if you are sewing by machine, hand sewing or gluing with material glue you can work at your own speed, we all know that I've plenty of time here at work so any questions as you work along can be answered...by now I'm hoping that you've received your group d-mail, thanks to all who helped me with that....

Material comes in 36" and 45" lengths, so I'll lead you through based on the 36" cut...


Find a place that you are able to open up your yardage for easy cutting...

What I would do is take newspaper print as not to cut incorrectly...better safe than sorry right...and if you have pinking shears you can use them but it is not necessary to have a beautiful finished project....

Cut from newspaper pring the following pieces:

Robe: depending on what width you have purchased - either will be fine

1 - 14” X 35" piece
or

1 - 14" x 45 depending on the width

Sleeves:


2 - 10" X 18" pieces if using 36" wide

or

2 - 10" X 22 1/2" if using 45" wide


Collar/Shawl:


Cut 1 18” x 11”

Now I recommend placing these paper pieces on your fabric and cut...

PLEASE/PLEASE when you do some of these projects as many times as I have, sometimes explaining them or the manner in which I explain the steps isn't always easily understood...so, any and every question appreciated throughout this workshop..a question answered will help another friend...

Before I lose my post will press send and continue...
