You're such a problem solver! I have never sewn any clothes except one dress I had to make in high school home ec. YEARS ago. I'm thinking about giving it another try. I have a tall, slender 17 year old who would make a good mannekin. :) Would you have a pattern recommendation for a boatneck dress with a full skirt? Kind of retro looking?Janice Holtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803878601842686593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-14845392624453040582016-08-23T08:59:15.204-04:002016-08-23T08:59:15.204-04:00I am so impressed in so many ways!

You are so patient with the process, you took great care (and time) to match the fabric at the seams, and you just bravely go forward even if you're not sure how to do something. Your attention to detail and attentiveness to fit WILL yield you that go-to skirt pattern. What a luxury that will be to have a basic bottom pattern that you like and fits!Jenny K.

It disappears more. Some people will sew in a silk organza strip to use as a interfacing on light flowy fabrics. <br /><br />You are making good decisions. You can find information on inserting a zipper in a lined garment in most "complete guide" to sewing books. Both the Vogue and Readers Digest have it. These two books are used by sewing schools as their sewing 101 course textbook. Or use this free tutorial on Craftsy http://www.craftsy.com/blog/2014/08/attach-lining-to-a-zipper/<br /><br />I usually use Claire Shaeffer's books and videos for reference for high end details finishes. She gives good detail and teaches you how to line up so you put the technique exactly where you want it. <br /><br />Can't wait to see your skirt!SJSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370080233134944653noreply@blogger.com
