Particularly with bias, it is so hard to tell how it's going to move, so I use my dress form to get the fit and drape. I'll do a post about drafting a skirt pattern...thanks for the idea.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049287568094965278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322328411043333175.post-14883323002887723962019-01-07T15:40:08.914-05:002019-01-07T15:40:08.914-05:00Soooo, the blouse was probably started from patter...Soooo, the blouse was probably started from pattern at some point in its history but it has been totally Frankensteined over the years, so at this point I think it is more mine than anything else. It is my T&T woven T-shirt pattern and I use it ALL the time! Find a simple T pattern and work it a bit, it's a great one to have in your arsenal.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049287568094965278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322328411043333175.post-74514292237694825192019-01-07T15:36:53.951-05:002019-01-07T15:36:53.951-05:00Carol Lee is my hero!Carol Lee is my hero!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049287568094965278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322328411043333175.post-2066520964570007042019-01-07T15:36:22.830-05:002019-01-07T15:36:22.830-05:00I've done it with basting as well, but it is m...I've done it with basting as well, but it is much fussier to adjust.

My pattern pieces are always very large as I’m heading into 4xl terrirtory and it’s hard enough to get a pattern and fabric that I could fit on bias. Then to have to struggle with what the grain wants to do through out the process??? My hat is off to you! If I HAD pulled that skirt off, I’d have to hang it where I could walk by and look at it for a week or two,BarbaraShowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026317469719944260noreply@blogger.com
