As usual, you prove me wrong ;)<br /><br />I saw you comment on my 'gored skirt tutorial'. The purple skirt is here: http://petitmainsauvage.blogspot.nl/2010/03/purple-skirt-from-leftovers.html<br />Obviously, the one of the points of the tutorial is to show how easy it can be to draft a skirt you like, to your size, just by altering the number of gores (at least 6 in total, but more is always possible), their length, the amount and shape of the flare and the height at which it kicks out. So, I'm looking forward to see what you will make of it!Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-59394362841403215442012-12-08T08:57:51.131+08:002012-12-08T08:57:51.131+08:00I don't know if that came out right--I meant t...I don't know if that came out right--I meant the fabric--"absent-minded head full of poems" (quite literally that was me).

I like how you made it up in jersey though (I don't understand why they include zips in all of the jersey garments - just odd) for a more comfortable look.

Pattern Magic is kinda different from all the others in that respect: in the case of all three PM books you have to draft your own patterns after creating your own custom fit sloper. I consider PM to be a much bigger challenge than drape drape. :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-4142121581170579002012-12-05T17:23:52.183+08:002012-12-05T17:23:52.183+08:00Wow!
