Well, actually yesterday and today:
Yesterday I had a very nice meeting with the kilt expert,
and she evaluated my work so far. Only a couple of very
minor changes necessary (flaring the front apron a skoosh
more, and making a small change to the last (double box)
pleat.. Whoo Hoo! Now on to the steeking, hair-canvas
interlining, lining, sewing on the top band, straps and
buckles, and finishing the hem. :-)
Today, I was invited by older DD to help her with a costume
for DGD for a play (McCalls 4915
http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M4915.htm she's going to
be a 60s secretary). She had the jacket cut out, I helped
her with alterations to the skirt pattern (a simple A-line
with front box pleats), and we waded in: interfaced the
lapels and collar, sewed and pressed the darts, shoulder and
side seams, sewed, turned and pressed the collar, and sewed
the neckline, lapels, and hem seams. I showed her how to
clip curves and corners, and press so that the lapels would
lie right. Stopped at that point because DGD has dance and
piano lessons this afternoon. But I'm going back over
Thursday to help her get it finished. And she enjoyed it!
That's the very best part. I have struggled to share my
love of sewing with my two DDs, because I'm not a natural
teacher, and tend to be too much of a perfectionist (learned
very well at the knee of my perfectionist mother). However,
I have learned to keep my hands off unless she *needs* help,
and she did great today. We chatted, had a nice lunch, and
got a lot done.
Happy,, happy, happy....

shoosh?
Yeah, I know what it means, but haven't heard the word in some time,
and almost never by a woman. :-)

No, "skoosh", it's different than a shoosh. A skoosh is
similar to a "bit", a "dash", a "trace", a "smidgen". Only
different... ;-)

We female sewists have uses for all sorts of arcane
"measurement" terms. ;-)

Isn't "skosh" or "skoosh" from Japanese? Skoshi, I think, originally.

I have no idea, I was spelling it phonetically. It was a
term in common use in my family, I've never seen it in a
real dictionary.
