I have some crepe navy I am thinking for trousers. It was bought a long time ago, and might also be a mix.

I think you need to cut into the back neckline, so you can alter the front and back the same amount.
Personally, before I committed, I would tell her the realistic alteration cost.

I was walkng along the street with Manuela in Bristol, and a young man ran alongside, and told her how wonderful she looked.
Imi, you have the figure to wear what you want, so go for it.

I've now cut out my morphed pattern and checked that it lines up. What else can go wrong?

Nevis5, is the T shirt in the magazine for a woven or stretch? It's stretch in the book.
I like looking at the book for ideas, but I don't have a dressy style (more messy).

It means combining two or more patterns.
I am putting together the top half of the Loes Hinse Tank Top, with the sides and bottom of the Merchant and Mills Bantam vest.
I am doing this to get a bit more coverage.
Is anyone else moving bits around?

I have to laugh reading this- on a certain other sewing site that was once mega, world war three would have broken out by now.

Publications / Re: What to keep?

I keep my reference books (sewing, archeology, geology) and the rest has a temporary home until it goes to the local big charity bookshop. This functions mainly as an extremely cheap middle class book exchange, and, after running expenses deducted, has a few hundred pounds a year left to donate.
