I vote for a Spring Break with a Campfire Thread. I've been working full time this week and again next week (Hate It!!!) so I will need some catch up time. Good timing for a break.

I do have a question about those blasted y seams. What do you do with the seam allowances? I know to press my seams open, leave the seam un sewn 1/4" and sew dot to dot. Do I sew over the pressed open seam allowance? Do I stand it up out of the way? How do I pivot if all that fabric is in the way? Am I being dumb or missing something? All the books and instructions say sew dot to dot and pivot--that ain't workin' for me! I either end up with a hole at the seam line or a pleat. Please help this senior blonde!!
