While I was putting the first cup of coffee in my sleepy self, I saw a pattern sale at Vogue. For years, garment patterns for grownups have struck me as dismal but here's one that looks just like pure fun.
That looks like it would be fun to make. When you finish it Polly give us a few pictures. You are going to make it aren't you?? she said with a grin. Because I'm not taking any challenges right now.... Juno
IIRC, it's to hold the pattern pieces in place for topstitching. It's been a while since i looked at the pattern, but I think this is one where the panels are overlaid, stitched down, and then the underfabric is trimmed away.

Steam a Seam is great for sticking things you can't sew... Or thatneed sticking THEN sewing... Some lapped seams, for example./ Combined with the wooly nylon, I'd bet that was what it was for...
It's a nice smart pattern.

Well, it certainly is different. I like it, but probably won't have time to sew it. Barbara in FL

I abandoned the idea, Emily. There's just not much available locally in the way of fabric and I didn't see anything online with a 4-way stretch like the pattern called for that would be welcome in my rather conservative wardrobe. Long ago, I had some silk that would have been fun but the 4-way is a killer of a requirement. Polly
