It does take a while to catch on to the fact that the photographs can be deceiving---- always check the line drawing myself, I've learnt the hard way (no wonderful blogger back in the day to give you a heads up ). I also am in total agreement about the fabric suggestions. I have waivered off the chart, but soon I realized they aren't just promoting certain fabric for no reason. . I like the patterns with the C cups too. You really should be putting this together as a book (perhaps that project is on the back burner?)<br />I didn't realize there were other patterns outside the four, until I started to follow some blogs... good grief, the sewing world has been fast paced since I last dropped out out of it (decades ago) . Its hard catching up! All the abbreviation explanations... who knew?? - till someone tells you, so thanks. I thought SWAP...was some kind of clothing exchange...ha.......sewing with a purpose.......ok!! got it. geesese.<br />Anyhow...I won't go on......but thanks again...looking forward to next week!<br />Joyce Joyce Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160629501236759910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-1733187160553153732014-10-28T19:48:58.323-04:002014-10-28T19:48:58.323-04:00Very enjoyable post.

For the most part, I taught myself to sew as I was raised my wolves, um I mean men. No one explained about fit and as a teenager, I thought my body was at fault. When I began sewing again as an adult I needed to remind myself of the fit issue, and the truism that "Sewing is fitting".Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517527498809073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-33962271238838885542014-10-27T11:00:26.211-04:002014-10-27T11:00:26.211-04:00wow, you've earned your crown in heaven and so...wow, you've earned your crown in heaven and some incredible fitting experience with that project!

I just finished sewing costume dresses for 75 women ranging in ages from 18 to 70 and all of them required pattern adjustments. Furthermore, only 2 of them came 'close' to fitting the actual pattern as printed. Most ladies needed numerous adjustments.<br /><br />Karensewingkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747001697655177474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-45310403964009292252014-10-27T09:13:39.625-04:002014-10-27T09:13:39.625-04:00Thanks, ElleC.
