I thought and thought about how to transfer the pattern markings onto the fabric. I traced the pattern pieces onto butchers paper so that I didn't destroy my pattern with whatever method I chose. <br /><br />In the end I decided to cut out the pieces, then with paper pattern still pinned in place and using a long machine basting stitch, I've stitched along all the foldlines. Hopefully this won't be a problem for when I come to stretching the fabric as I sew the folds... I'll rip the paper away before sewing.<br /><br />I'm going to hand tailor tack the darts. Here's hoping it works, and thanks for your tips!Yvette Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819109185978215096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093292106604425520.post-14215789834638330472011-01-04T21:36:19.070-05:002011-01-04T21:36:19.070-05:00This is just beautiful.
