Sewing With Sandi
I just returned from an amazing cruise and the cruise wear fashion made me want to sew.

The pintuck detail requires some precise sewing. It’s not hard to accomplish, but it does require care. These markings are very close together and marking them can be a challenge. This fabric doesn’t fray, so I just clipped through the marks ever so slightly.
