I found your "Would you TNT with me?" post a while ago totally inspirational, and this series has just added to my esteem. It great to see how you work; I especially loved the description of your "aha" moment with the channel dress, and reading your original post about trying to come up with the pattern from your TNT (could you post links to the follow ups too? I wanted to see how that dress turned out but couldn't find the later posts.) Thanks so much for sharing. <br /><br />(By the way, you are DEFINITELY an enabler. I've just gotten addicted to sewing and fabric recently and I blame your blog for a good part of that :) )spottedroohttp://www.spottedroo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-13939701150258262542009-04-18T13:04:00.000-04:002009-04-18T13:04:00.000-04:00It's a great series.

I think though for anyone who has a lot of fitting changes to make working up a tnt pattern for all the types of clothing they wear is a real time saver and an introduction to designing.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-49604148860442327612009-04-18T12:07:00.000-04:002009-04-18T12:07:00.000-04:00Thank you for taking the time to write these posts...Thank you for taking the time to write these posts.

I do admire your creative talents and how you apply them to TNT patterns. I have now established a few TNT's. I still keep going for the new thing and then when I start looking through my dozens, and dozens, dozens of patterns, I find some repeats. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all.<br /><br />Enjoy the weekend sewing.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-27747359789332634312009-04-18T06:07:00.000-04:002009-04-18T06:07:00.000-04:00Interesting series!

This is why your followers grow. :)<br />I think if people are looking for a TNT dress, each pattern company has a very simple one where to start from. You just need to find one that works for you. And that is part of the process - finding one from which to start.<br />Thanks for giving of yourself in the past three post. I totally enjoyed it.Zephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682731203511053192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-77430004045784901812009-04-17T21:23:00.000-04:002009-04-17T21:23:00.000-04:00I actually remember seeing that pattern in the boo...I actually remember seeing that pattern in the book.Towandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634494345166387524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-65602064366851873382009-04-17T18:11:00.000-04:002009-04-17T18:11:00.000-04:00Thanks Carolyn for your post on tnt.

Basicly, was your starting off point for your TNT dress pattern, the need for a basic pattern and 'lucky chance' that meant you had a pattern that was close to what you needed, and just needed refining? What I'm trying to ask is, how do you start at the veeerrrry beginning, decide what basic 'shape' you want, find a pattern that is approximately that shape, and work from there?<br /><br />Thanks so much for these posts, helpfull and inspirational!!<br /><br />Anon in IreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
