Thanks for the link, Nicole. I did look at that last night but I only saw the Part 1 with the back bodice. Do you have the link to Part 2? I couldn’t find it on the blog. I have that back part finished but am wondering about the two notches on the pattern (and dot alignment) vs three notches in the illustrations and different dot alignment. I…[Read more]

Hallo April!

I am a bit tired today,( Trixie had jabs yesterday and didn’t sleep that well last night) but if I link to my blog post http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-party-tutorial-part-one.html maybe you can see the notches in that?

I glue my pattern sheet together, fold it like a commercial pattern sheet (sort of concertina it) and store it in a big ziplock bag. I laminate the colour pages and put them at the front and back of the bag. The instructions are…[Read more]

I hear you @cybele727 One of the things I dislike about my home printed patterns is that I can’t see through the paper, so matching stripes and patterned fabric is much harder. Thus I end up tracing the pattern anyway. My interfacing tracings are flexible, translucent and hold up to being pinned over and over. Find me printer paper like that and…[Read more]

In light of Todd’s blog post about the evolution of paper vs PDF, I wish I could find paper for a laser printer that is pretty thin and considering the volume we print… cheap! When I google translucent paper, it is pretty dear. Regular paper is a touch too stiff. I wish I could find something just a touch heavier than the paper tissue that…[Read more]

I’m afraid I haven’t made this one — hopefully somebody who has will be along soon to chime in!

@mkhs, I too thought the same thing! hahaha….

Thank you Todd.

By all means, start a new thread if you are in a hurry. I usually resort to Google to find an old thread.
