I'm currently making little drawstring pouches for shower favors and I hate to even snip corners for fear I'll break the stitching.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814407420789455322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462389179011675231.post-19514565479447322442014-09-02T22:20:32.643+01:002014-09-02T22:20:32.643+01:00If only I was that conscientious Kathy!

It left the corners slightly rounded. I have looked at Amy's butterfly on Amy Made That and her corners are much sharper.The Patchsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135555065266052791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462389179011675231.post-86028614149256799062014-09-02T22:06:46.775+01:002014-09-02T22:06:46.775+01:00So cute!
