Making a petticoat "full" by
[email protected]
I've been trying to make one of those "full" petticoats,
one that sticks out a lot, but I haven't found a pattern
and the few articles I've found on the web aren't all that
clear to me.

up with look like a mess, so I'm reluctant to go out...

for a second...

Pam in Iowa
The only thing my boys (24,19,15) will let me sew for them these days
are boxer shorts. I've got a great pattern, but I can't seem to figure
out how to put the fly in correctly. I've tried and eventually get
something that kind of looks like a commercial fly, but it is an ugly
process! Any good...
