Now that I'm doing the actual copying, I'm regretting picking a garment with 9 pattern pieces. That's a lot of copying. Today I'll be thread tracing all my grainlines and seamlines. You who know me know that that's a lot of hand sewing for someone who hates to hand sew. I'm still a little confused about how to handle the bust gathers, but I asked KK last night and he explained it. I'm just waiting now for Deepika to post the chat transcripts so I can go over carefully what KK said to do.
I can see this blouse in a sleeveless and long sleeved version. I have so many wovens in my stash and very few patterns to use on them. I'm really looking forward to getting this pattern made and then altered to fit.
As always, I'll keep you posted.
I loved Kenneth's instruction and humor, it sounds like a really useful class! I've never done one on PR before, I couldn't quite figure out how to learn something that way. I'll be following this journey closely...
ReplyDelete9 pattern pieces is a lot, but they all come together in a flattering way. I think you'll be happy with your pattern!
ReplyDeleteSthis is what I love about bloggsters. Giving us your take on al types of sewing ventures. I took an online class, a patternmaking class, and enjoyed it, although I didn't really have the time to invest then. I am very interested in taking a class from PR, so I'm anxious to hear how you liked it. Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteI also would love to hear about your on line class. I've frequently thought of taking one from PR but I'm really not sure how the times and chat/format work? Like Gwen said please keep us posted :)
ReplyDeleteI saw this class on PR but felt I couldn't commit at the time. Keep us posted on how it goes. Sounds interesting and I would love to take class from KK.
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, I have wondered about the classes on PR. I can't wait to hear your opinion on the class and how your project turns out.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for the info on the bolting brocolli - that is exactly what mine is starting to do :(
I love a challenge! I'm sure you'll do great!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like a great class!! Good luck on your blouse.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I'd seen that class. I've got some things I've bought since I hadn't been sewing that actually fit so well. I hope he does this again soon. I'm eager to follow along with you on how this goes.
