My summary went something like this:
" Take two pieces of Bread. Using a knife, spread Peanut Butter on one piece. Next spread Jelly on the second piece. Place pieces together to make a sandwich.
Sounds pretty good! Right? I thought so.

A friend once told me that for a college paper he had to write instructions on how to make a peanut butter sandwich, and how difficult it was. He said no one in the class could do it on the first try. I remember thinking "how hard could that be?" So I decided to try it for myself.
How would your wright it (right it)?
"No Frills" Patterns will be patterns with limited in-structions
for the more experienced seamstress who under-stands basic sewing instructions without the added details. The patterns will be marked with letters and symbols but they will have limited instructions.
i.e. " Sew from A to B, then C to D. " etc. They will NOT be illustrated except in the rare instance that a step were very confusing.
I take pride in the fact that even my largest patterns go together "without a hitch!" and these will be no different. They will be great patterns, just a little "short" on explanations!!
As with my patterns in the past, the pieces will fit precisely. There will be no length discrepancies between the pattern pieces. As with all of my patterns, There will be "Notches", and the letters and symbols will match.
So.ooo.... if you sew a little...... can follow simple instructions, and have a bit of confidence, why not give 'em a try.. You'll be pleasantly
surprised!
Don't be shy-... we won;'t know who you are unless you leave your e-mail addy.
In writing instructions I can't assume anything! That you'll know to double the thread before you tie a knot, or that you'll know how to stitch a curve, or even that you'll know to sew with right sides together. So.ooo. I always keep in mind that many of you haven't sewn before. I work extra hard at writing so that the instructions are as user friendly as possible. It takes time because I have to imagine what image will be conjured up in your mind when I choose my words.
Next, I have to illustrate. Draw pictures that actually resemble what I'm trying to describe. That is no easy task!!!
These two process slow down the design process immensely, and particularly why I've decided to publish my 'No Frills" line.
BELOW: See how others wrote it.....
You will need:
1. bread of your choice, white or wheat are recommended. You may use home-baked (highly recommended) or store-bought sliced bread. Again, white or wheat are recommended. Flavored breads, rye, seven-grain, etc will change the flavor of the peanut butter and jelly.
2. Creamy peanut butter for a classic P&J; or chunky peanut butter, cashew butter, or any other nut butter that you prefer.
3. jelly, jam, preserves of your choice. Concord Grape Jelly for a classic P&J.
4. one table knife -- the dull kind.
5. plate, paper towel or napkin.
Instructions:
1. place two slices of bread on plate, paper towel or napkin. It is recommended that your bread not be more than 1/2 inch thick for a Classic P&J
2. using dull knife spread approximately 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on the face of one slice of bread.
3. scrap any peanut butter off the knife on the edge of the bread
4. using same knife (or a different knife if you licked the peanut butter of the knife) spread approximately 1 tablespoon of jelly on the face of the second slice of bread.
5. place the second slice of bread, jelly side down, on the peanut butter on the first slice of bread. The jelly and the peanut butter should be together inside. You may cut the sandwich in pieces if you wish, cut in half would be traditional, but young children seem to get a kick out of quarters.
6. clean your knife and counter; sweep up any bread crumbs that fell on the floor.
7. pour a nice cold glass of milk
8. sit at a table or on a blanket under a tree and enjoy your P&J!

I always love getting these. Some are serious but many are humerous They talk about jelly plopping out....sticky fingers...or ripped bread...I will now be placing them up for all to see unless you ask otherwise!!.
