It would have been helpful if the pieces had been grouped on a separate sheet included after the other sleeve pieces.

The sleeve pattern piece, #10, was printed on pages 44 – 49. When I assembled the sleeve, I found that the pattern piece ended at an angle. There was no hem allowance at the bottom of the piece. If you look at the sleeve shown on page 50, it…[Read more]

This may help you figure out how to modify the sleeve pattern or the sleeve portion of the dress pattern.

I get mine at JoAnn’s. It’s not very sturdy so I use a piece with 4 or 5 buttonholes and sew it to the end of the measured skirt elastic. I sew a 5/8″ button to the inside of the waistband beside where the elastic emerges from the casing. Choose a buttonhole and push the…[Read more]

I get my patterns printed at a local blueprint shop that has a printer that prints pages 36 inches wide. They offer vellum, a paper that’s opaque and rather stiff. From Amazon.com I ordered a roll of tracing paper that’s 36 inches wide. This paper is more flexible than vellum…[Read more]

It’s loosely fitted, not semi-fitted. It has long sleeves, but I’ve made short sleeves and versions with 3/4-length sleeves. Best of all, the collar isn’t too long for petites. Tamara, you can find Grainline Studio under the shop tab above.

I’d like both short and long sleeves.

A tuxedo dress! The pattern goes up only to size 8, though.

Start and stop basting the piping or flat piping about two inches from the place where you want to join the ends. Take the left part of the unbasted piping and lay it down along the bodice seam to the join (underarm seam in this case). With a fabric marking pen make a vertical mark on the piping…[Read more]

I’d also like a women’s metro t-shirt with a V neck. Could this be a tutorial?
