So I'm churning out these dresses and one of the ladies is, erm, larger than the average in the group - she told me she does a lot of sewing.
Up till now all the
or
I've made for this group have been pretty flexible on fitting, but this year we are doing the princess line fitted style. I didn't have a pattern for that in her size, so I thought - Ahah, Francoise will have pattern of her own I can borrow.
" Fran, do you have a princess line
adjusted to your size please, save me making another pattern," say I.
" I'll bring in what I've got" , say she.
On Saturday she fetched in what she had - I kid you not, they were Barbie doll dress patterns! Bless her. She said she thought I could adjust that ( Saint Jan the miracle worker!) So guess what I was doing last night?
