Sew Alongs 9 years agoAddie, good question! There is quite a bit of design ease in this pattern, so you are correct that you may not need to do the FBA. If you’ve checked the fit and it seems to drape fine, you’re probably safe to go ahead with it as is. But if you’re unsure, it might be a good idea to try adding the sleeves and placket just to be sure. Based on the…[Read more]

This strikes me as odd (though it IS my first time sewing a dress with knits). Any other time I have sewn gathers, the gathering stitches were always within the seam…[Read more]
