This was a “last chance” fabric at Joann, so very inexpensive. Worth exactly what I paid for it–it’s not the best quality. The crossgrain was so wonky!
Pattern is McCalls 6964 (now Butterick 6848) with alterations for forward shoulder, short lower back/round upper back, neckline redraw(it was too low).
Mostly serged. Hems sewn with a double needle in my regular machine.
To be entirely accurate, this is not what soft pretzels usually look like in Pennsylvania. Ours aren’t baked separately like that, but sort of squished together, and attached to each other. It’s like buying a rack of ribs.
I was so surprised the first time I was a parent chaperone on a school trip, and the teachers had brought along a big brown paper grocery bag of soft pretzels for a snack for the kids. I mean, it’s kind of good–no sugar, filling, cheap, but my New England-born self had never seen such a thing.
@MistressJennie The first time I saw PA soft pretzels I said, “Oh, it’s like a hot dog bun, you know, the New England kind.” No, no one knew what I was talking about :).
