Today's sewing tips came in Simplicity 7052, an apron pattern. One of the aprons is shown in a gingham, none in real plaids. Hmmm. I wonder why Helpful Hints for Plaids was chosen for this pattern?

Back to plaids.... Know Your Plaids. There are even and uneven plaids. Seeing the difference easy in a picture.
