I looked back 6 years bc I thought that we had a sewing, etc. thread, but we do not. Several members do sewing, quilting and other textile projects periodically, and I have been posting my projects, as they happen. I am starting with a simple project, a Christmas gift towel calendar that was not quite ready to hang. I folded over the top and hand basted it. I had a problem with sewing with white thread OVER the year, 2025, so I decided to leave a 3 inch strip unsewn. I finished with a "dunno Where it came from" 
stick bc the previous cloth year calendars wooden dowel was broken, and finished with a navy blue 1/2 inch ribbon, tied on to hang. IF the 3 inch strip starts to sag I intend to spot hand stitch, but I doubt that the weight of the towel is going to do this.
Anybody else? I don't want to monopolize this new thread, and I, personally, will be happy to see photos of your previous projects. You NEVER KNOW where you are going to get good ideas!
For those you have constructed garments, I watched a Nancy Zieman program where she suggests trimming the seam along a neck edging instead of clipping it.
I have Always been dubious of clipping notches right next to a sewing line. Pattern directions still tell you to do that.
You NEVER KNOW who you may inspire!
