And I have been doing a bit of online research (my life is research!), and found a FB adjustment for a princess seam tutorial from Burda Style's Opal in Minnesota; thanks! So the next bit of excitement will be me trying out her instructions; hopefully tomorrow...
I have to admit, one of the things I hate about fitting is measuring myself; I've been putting it off for weeks. Finally, after the skirt-pattern class at Bits of Thread, where I had to measure myself in public, I've been getting all the different measurements done & wrote them down last night. Today I'll use Opal's instructions & try to get the front pattern adjusted a bit.
Speaking of measurements & healthy body images, I came across an article in the paper today about how Israel has banned ads with too-skinny models! 18.5 BMI is the bottom line for healthy, BTW.
I've been singing Debaser all week; it's a good earworm! And a cover by OK Go!
Good progress! Looks like It's going to be a winner, good luck with the adjusting
ReplyDeleteSB! Have you had any luck w/ your body double? I thought I'd adjusted mine just right but then the clothes fit me but are too small for her? I wonder if it has to do w/ her firmness & my lack thereof?!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been playing around with the patterns (adjusting for FB, moving the BP lower, etc.) but need another bit of time to work...another crazy week & I'm working part of Saturday, too...
Thx for the encouragement...
Interesting thoughts, I really enjoyed your blog.
