What seam allowance are you using? Do you topstitch or press your seams?

Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop | Sewing Patterns Sewing Patterns for children and adults. We have patterns for every season, every occasion, and every skill level. Fashion meets fun at Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop.

I’ve been happy with this shop: the patterns allow for a lot of variations and include projector patterns. The instructions are a little unclear.

Excerpt from Novel MERCY STREET

[T]he latecomers cracked [Claudia] open. In Massachusetts, AB was illegal after twenty-four weeks. When a patient terminated at the last minute, it was usually because she'd gotten ominous test results: a fetal brain tumor, a mass in the lung.
The latecomers were impossible to counsel, because they didn't want ABs. They wanted babies. They were pregnant by choice; some had gone to great lengths, and considerable expense, to get that way. Many were over forty, painfully aware that this was their last chance. By the time Claudia met them, they were mortally exhausted, like prisoners who'd been waterboarded. Some wept. Others were catatonic. A few were incandescently angry.
None of these reactions surprised her. She was meeting them on the worst fucking day of their lives.
By week twenty-three, names had been chosen, cribs purchased, baby showers planned.

Listening to @pasenatorcappelletti.com speak at the #PeoplesRally reminded me of this passage from Mercy Street #booksky

Facebook’s AI Spam Isn’t the β€˜Dead Internet’: It’s the Zombie Internet Facebook is the zombie internet, where a mix of bots, humans, and accounts that were once humans but aren’t anymore interact to form a disastrous website where there is little social connection at all...
