@serendipidus1 "Less" is used when you can't count what you're referring to (e.g. less stuff) "Few" is used when you can count what you're referring to (e.g. few things) So, it's wrong to say "less buttons". But you're right that it's correct to say "a lesser amount of buttons" because you are referring to a "lesser amount" and not "lesser buttons".

@serendipidus1 www.grammar.com/Fewer-vs-Less Colloquial English and formal English are different animals, and language changes over time. You are referencing the former, I the latter. I'm a Fry fan. I've read nearly all of his books, heard him in many debates and lectures, and watched Q.I. He was speaking about colloquial, day-to-day speech, with which he has no quarrel. Nonetheless, it isn't the manner of speech he employs nor the way he writes. If you've read his books, you've certainly noticed this too. In fact, I've even heard him on Q.I. bringing up precisely such picky points of formal diction with his panelists. Of course, he feels people should speak informally if they so wish, and nearly everyone does. He, himself, speaks formal English -- grammar and diction, and it is to that that I was referring. I can't justify the rules of formal grammar or diction; I can just mention that they are what they are. Does it matter a great deal? Nope, but to those taking college entrance tests or attending academically stringent universities, it does still matter.

@serendipidus1 Oops! Sorry. I focused on your entry and automatically went with the dictionary spelling. Here's my point that I think I may have expressed rather poorly. Like Fry, whom you obviously admire, I realize that formal English isn't needed for day-to-day use. But bear in mind that formal English is, at bottom, simply absolutely correct English, not necessarily hoity-toity or complex. It's the way in which Fry always speaks and writes, and so do I. I don't correct anything, unless I'm asked to edit. I have, however, heard Fry correct others on "Q.I." several times, but it's a rather unique situation being meant for comic effect. Still, he does do it. Back to my main point. You're 716% correct that everyone will understand "less than 8 buttons." However, everyone will also understand "fewer than 8 buttons." So what the heck difference does it make? Language is a tool, and not all tools are equally useful in every situation. For most people, it will never, never make even a tiny bit of difference. However, there are times and places where anything less than totally correct English will be noted, and usually not to one's benefit. Depending upon what one plans to do in life, it is true that the more correctly one speaks, the wider those options are. I'm now a retired teacher, and I worked very hard to give my students the widest range of options possible. I tried my best to give them the tool of correct English. My success varied from student to student, of course. My background was not privileged. I went to public schools in a largely working class area beginning in 1949. I'm the granddaughter of four non English-speaking, working-class, 1880s immigrants: 2 maids, a baker, and a brick-layer. I'm also the first college graduate in my family. My grammar school teachers had, by and large, 2 year normal school educations, but they had those 2 years of college in the days when most women had no chance of any higher education. They were hard-ass, and we learned what they taught with varying success, or at least most of us did. I'm simply the product of that system. My sentence structure isn't complex, and I avoid difficult vocabulary unless I'm with those who also use it. Nonetheless, my writing is easy to understand, and it's formal English. It's not fancy. It's not complex. It's just correct, and it can be used in a very wide variety of situations. After so very many decades of speaking and writing this way, it's automatic. Different strokes for different folks!

One little tip for gathering, I suggest switching your bobbin to something more heavy-duty, possibly coat or buttonhole weight, so it won't snap as easily when gathering. Also, a contrasting color will help you to easily pick out the bobbin thread, which is the easier thread to pull when gathering anyway.

I have an old manila folder that I drew horizontal lines of 1/4” up to 3” so I can use that to turn my hems. I fold the fabric over the card stock up to the line I want and iron over it. It makes the hemming go a little faster.

When I started taking Home Economics in high school. I did not have money to buy fabric so my mother and I started ripping apart shirtwaist dress as this was a style in the 50s when the shirt was sewn to the skirt my sister was a very small child about nine years old and I was 14 my mother was 45. And this style of dress has gone out of fashion each of my sisters skirts was cut down with a huge folded him from 36 inch long material and 3 yards of material my mothers and mine were exactly the same 4 yards of material and 45 inches long it was quite common then to have really huge hems. And many clothes had Grow me so that when a child got taller you could let out a pleat and their pants leg would be longer or their pajama legs. Fabric buttons and zippers were frequently reused collars were turned when they were too worn on one side so we’re cuffs bed linens were split down the middle when they wore out and the edges seamed that way you could tuck the worn edge of the fabric under the bed mattress and sleep on the thicker unworn fabric in the middle. You have to understand I was a child of parents who had survived a depression nothing was thrown away everything was recycled 100% I don’t know how many clothes my father had but my mother had exactly 3 outfits to last a week you would wear your outfit two days at a time you might also have an extra Sunday dress which you could wear again on Monday so that all your other three outfits could be washed on Mondays.

It is the only way for me unless it is a button with a shank. I hate sewing by hand especially buttons. My machine locks the threads at the beginning and at the end so, although machine stitching buttons is secure, it gives that little extra confidence. If you aren't confident you could always take the threads to the back and secure by hand after stitching the button.

I still do them by hand because it's more secure. I was also taught for theatre sewing to use 4-6 strands for button sewing, so every thread has to break for the button to come off. I've never lost a button I sewed on.

And thank you for saying "rip the fabric". My home ec teacher was fond of it, especially for tearing the edges to get the straight of grain.

Love it. My mother and I made this type of skirt in many summer and tropical prints. She never used a pattern and they looked great. I wore the skirts with trendy accessories and color-coordinated cotton knit tops. Back in the day, gorgeous cotton garment fabrics were easily found and inexpensive. Even the European imports. Depending on the fabric's width, we always bought 5-6 yards per skirt to compensate for pre-treatment shrinkage and my above-average height. Other favorites remain summer circular skirts with hemlines of 5+ yards. Mother and a Disney Studios costume designer-friend made luxurious poodle skirts for us with German wool felt and genuine Astrakhan fur. Swarovski beading on the fancy dogs and their collars.

I wasn’t able to get good photos of that set in time to put it up with the video but you can see it in my Instagram stories today! Hope you still enjoy the free tutorial 😀

I'm in love of that top! I didn't even know that I wanted it until I saw it! It's so me! I can't resist to a square neck! It's so flattering!!! Too bad that I can't afford it 😭

Thank you, this skirt is on my to do list. I purchased a whole lot of embroidered denim because I just liked it and this is the project I will make with it. Great tutorial.

Hi Gertie. I love your tutorials. They've given me confidence to start seeing but please could you show us the finished item at the end? I feel an anti climax when we don't get to see you wearing the project. 😍

I was rather gutted that after an hour of anticipation; you didn't show the final result!! The clearest instructions I've found yet - I want to make a floor length skirt with ALL the gathers!
