That is very frustrating to have to redo the changes 🙁 But at least once you get down to the nearly finished pile hopefully you’ll see results fairly quickly 🙂

Fantastic work on the costumes!

I’m very pleased with my Parachute Polo/ Tea Party mash up with hopschotch pockets!

Congratulations Jax, how exciting 🙂

Are you looking at the cut line or the seam line? Sometimes the two are quite different especially on a curved waistband.
I’ve also had waistbands slightly smaller than the skirt to encourage a snug fit.
I haven’t made this so I’m not sure if it’s intended or not.
Good luck 🙂

I made a Colette Mabel Skirt in half an hour before work yesterday in fleece, except for the seams. It worked but even though I went up a size to account for the lack of stretch in the fleece it was too firm for comfortable movement.

I’ve got one more pair of side opening parachute pants to make for school uniform. I had them cut out Wednesday but haven’t got to them. This will be the 4th pair!
I also want to finish her Parachute Polo/Tea party birthday dress for tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to seeing this one finished 🙂

provided you take the armholes it should be fine. don’t forget that the shoulders can affect the sleeve too.

I love the first way shown in this blog. http://foursquarewalls.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/narrow-hem-three-ways.html
