dorishuntt started the topic Key Considerations for Altering a Yanaka Traditional Tattoo for a Full Bicep in the forum groip1 1 year ago
I am about to begin sewing a Yanaka Jacket in a lovely brocade. I expect that I will need to alter for my bicep. Should I do this in the underarm area of the gusset and the back part of the top sleeve?

Laura replied to the topic Waistband not fitting in the forum liesl + co: garibaldi a-line skirt 1 year ago
I recently purchased this pattern and have the same issue. The waistband is too short and the markings do not line up.
I can easily adjust the waistband to fit, but at this point the problem should be corrected. Otherwise the pattern is well explained and fitting.

Hello! Thanks for your patience as I’ve been traveling. This should be a relatively easy fix. You’ll want to pin out the resulting fold in the fabric and blend the lines to make a smoother sleeve. The result will be sort of like this very crude drawing, with more of a curve to the sleeve. I hope that makes sense?

I’m thinking about making the Yanaka jacket to go over the Fira dress. Has anyone done this? Did they work well together?

Hello,
I’m working on a Yanaka jacket. Do you have any suggestions for an alteration to help prevent the sleeves from twisting?Attached are a few pictures of me in a muslin.
(Ignore the writing in the photos. Those are notes to fit the jacket for my mom. The sleeves do not twist for her. :))
Thank you!

Hi Mia,
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a bubble dress (so cute!) but ni, there aren’t any exposed seams.
You create the outer bodice, then a similar bodice lining, then sew them together all around the neckline and armholes.
It’s a lovely clean finish.
You can look ahead in the pattern instructions to see how it will come together or just…[Read more] -

When sewing (step #11)the under arm seam,bodice to the back, will there be an open unlined seam here? I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance.
