Oh, sobbing - I missed everyone!
Hi little thread. You're really getting skinny.

We've got to beaf you up some. Tonight I went to church with all my material and the patterns and pins, scissors, marking chalk, measuring tape and other little necessities and used the tables in the fellowship hall to cut out the rest of the dresses. A friend came and I altered the pattern and pinned and she cut.
I am so glad that is done. Now I can finish sewing without the stress of wondering how in the world I was going to finish cutting them out.
