So the seams face the inside of the dress as opposed to nicely tucked away forever in the lining.
Somewhere someone commented, "if you're a quilter a 5/8" seam allowance looks huge" and that's 100% true!
it's tough to go back those 5/8" seams that's for sure. When I first started sewing I was making clothes. I cant' remember the last time I made an outfit for myself!!! I still have fabric for outfits matched with patterns.. Who knows if I'll ever get back to that.... maybe some day.. Right now I have too many other quilting projects to play with!
