Preparation Want to know the secret to perfectly fitting clothes? Easy - it’s your measurements! These will determine your pattern size when sewing, tailoring, and embellishing your own clothes.

Otherwise, make sure you are wearing form-fitting clothing (like a tank-top and leggings) and your typical day-to-day undergarments....
Preparation William Shakespeare once wrote, “All that glitters is not gold,” but when it comes to cookie decorating, we respectfully disagree.

Here’s a run-down of all things sweet and shimmery....

Treble crochet stitch is also frequently applied to make tall elements in more intricate patterns, like crocheted snowflakes, and because this stitch is three times as tall as single crochet, when the stitches are side by side, they tend to have lots of space between them, creating a light, open crocheted fabric....
