Or you can use another pattern and make the actual alterations that I made to my TNT pattern by cutting through the darts and adding seam allowances. This was just a suggested pattern, a place to start, so that if someone wants to copy the look they could.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-41184931870568493442014-02-15T17:24:11.592-05:002014-02-15T17:24:11.592-05:00Our bodies are similiarly shaped.

My question: do you make any pattern alterations when the pattern states,'waistband sits 1/2 inch below natural waist.' Simple words but they can be profound in the final garment and especially the wearing. I know you have made multiple changes to arrive at a TNT just for you, but how do you deal with this pattern description?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614510367405218318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-4779950946874399082014-02-15T08:58:54.108-05:002014-02-15T08:58:54.108-05:00Pretty skirt!
