I guess when you've made a pattern enough, you need not make a muslin.<br /><br />Also as a semi regular reader I finally got around to reading about blog comments - really interesting. I'll try to comment more often.<br /><br />In thanks for hosting this website I'd like to leave a boquet of scarlet tulips for you (isn't that an appropriate hostess gift!).

Carolyn, if ...I love your technical sewing stories! Carolyn, if you can do this altering with tracing paper, then tracing out a BWoF pattern is no big deal - and I know you hate the thought of that. On another note, I would LOVE to hear more from you about how you store your stash. Do you store things in boxes, bags, open in stacks? I know this has come up before but I can't recall these details.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689395401269847602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-25275537927926352102011-04-23T21:20:55.398-04:002011-04-23T21:20:55.398-04:00I am loving that fabric.

It really makes sense since you have already worked out the fit you like, now you need to transfer this fit to your new pattern.<br />I am anxious to start my own TNT collection.

I can't remember what dress it was on, for some reason I think it was the black lace one.
