Now I keep the best ones for those purposes and use other inferior fabrics or really ugly worn ones for test sews.

I thought the pants with the hat photo was sort of neat looking-makes me want to add a hat to a cool summer dress to lounge in. mssewcrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610005723483105088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-2174706235030702092013-03-24T17:46:49.819-04:002013-03-24T17:46:49.819-04:00Oh MY GOD!

...Get thee to the tropics immediately! Love them.<br /><br />What methods do you use when working with pattern fitting issues. Do you measure the pattern and compare with garments you know fit you well and then do some pattern slashing and sliding? Do you just crank out the muslin with larger seam allowances and make adjustments directly on the muslin?<br /><br />Your results always fit well. There are so many ways of getting to the perfect fit that it can boggle the mind - at least my mind.<br /><br />urbanitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-57693582087325028332013-03-24T09:45:57.895-04:002013-03-24T09:45:57.895-04:00Thank you, Mary.
