If using a pattern follow every direction (even if they do not make sense @ first) in order. So often I thought I could do it better my way. It really taught me alot when I followed them. Start with simple things. Also I find a lot of great fabric @ Salvation Army and Goodwill stores. Have fun!:)
We were fortunate to split the lot between us and the neighbors with those neighbors. Painful to borrow that $$$ but not as painful as someone squeezing a house between us. Turns out we were just in time! He is mowing his half (huh!)and we are planting three plots of trees. Evergreen in one...
