I was asked by my good friend and hair stylist if I would make a apron for a bake sale they were having for Earth Day. I had fabric in my stash that I had purchased specifically for aprons but hadn't taken the time to make them.
After using the methods that Lynda Maynard suggested I made two skirts from my stash that fit me wonderfully!
Now I just need to master adjusting the bodice on my patterns...
To all those that are celebrating Easter, may your Easter Season be filled with many blessings!!
These are my two favorite patterns!
Aside from the aprons, I've been busy learning how to alter patterns to fit me better. Sarah Gunn of "Goodbye Valentino" is a blog that I recently discovered and have found her to be very inspirational. She had a great post on a Craftsy Class that she was reviewing "Sew the Perfect Fit" by Lynda Maynard. On her posts she gives a pretty good review and is offering a 40% deal. I had already joined Craftsy but hadn't really been interested in any of the classes. After reading Sarah's post, what did I find in my inbox but a coupon from Craftsy for any online class for $19! Well I took advantage of that coupon and purchased the "Sew the Perfect Fit" class!! Rather than using the Vogue pattern that Lynda Maynard uses for alternations, I used her tips and applied them to Simplicity's Amazing Fit pattern 2475:Now I just need to master adjusting the bodice on my patterns...
To all those that are celebrating Easter, may your Easter Season be filled with many blessings!!
