Nicole, the instructions for the blazer would be quite involved, but the grading would be a nightmare! Maybe someday, but I need to rest my brain after writing that book. (Which is why I just jumped into writing some very detailed Liesl + Co patterns for fall, apparently???)
Can’t wait to see how the blazer turned out!

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic FBA for Maritime — how important? in the forum liesl + co: maritime knit top 10 years ago
Practice the dart with some scraps before you sew it! You might want a little stabilizer, too, depending on your fabric.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic FBA for Maritime — how important? in the forum liesl + co: maritime knit top 10 years ago
I think it depends on your fabric, too. But yes, if you have a 4″ difference between your high and regular bust measurements, I’d think you’ll probably want to do a FBA.
I’m working on a peplum top from this pattern right now. I’m using a very drapey woven fabric, so I’ve gone up 4 sizes to get an oversized look. But I think if I had a fuller…[Read more]

These are great answers! I hear you on the curtains, @justsewit and @enbee. I made sheer linen Roman shades for the living room in NYC a year or two ago and they were brutal. And I also hear you on the quilt, @rhythmtyagi. Your answers are all very interesting. Keep them coming!

Well, you’re practically reading my mind! Thanks for the feedback, and I think you’ll be happy with at least one of the fall patterns, then. xo

Ooh, well done @TamaraH! My mom sewed me a very similar prom dress: similar silhouette and fabric, but mine was strapless. I recall multiple fittings and many late nights on her part.
But think of the great memories she’ll have!
What’s on your “to tackle” list? Anything you’re really wanting to learn?
