Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoHello. It has been YEARS since I’ve posted on here. I am regaining my sewing mojo and I want to make some things for ME. Hooray.

I’ve got a couple of metres of liberty tana lawn and I’m considering downloading the everyday…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agomeasure your high bust and your full bust. If there is more than 2″ difference, using your high bust will help you get the correct fit in the shoulders and over all bodice.
