I went to my mother-in-laws after work today and she help me cut the pieces for the dress and told me what the symbols were for and how to work with them. I'll guess I'll try to sew some tonight and hope they come out the way they are supposed to. I still have to cut out the pieces for the cap and scarf. I'll post some pics when I get some of it done.
I just want to thank you all for your help. I'm a visual learner, so actually seeing what needed to be done has helped. I think I can handle the rest of it, so we'll see. I know I'll have more questions once I get further along. Thank you all so much for your patience and support with my endevor.
