Remember This?

SA: Remember this?

This project started with a question.  Locked at home during the pandemic days, Stella got out her scrap pile and started making stuff.  The Rag Sisters, Stella and Linda have a long history of making stuff.  As she sewed we emailed back and forth. the conversation went something like this.

SA: I have a couple of scraps of this. What did u make out of it?  

LA: How could you forget this?

SA: I just can't remember.

LA We cut this out at Laurel's house. I remember that there wasn’t enough fabric for the pattern (we always skimped to save money). Then you did some adjusting by turning pattern pieces against the grain…and suddenly everything fit.  I remember being really  impressed with your smartness at the time. I wore this to Lake Arrowhead…. where I met a tall, dashing fellow…. Who turned out to be, well a disappointment.  Interesting how evocative a scrap can be.
