I did these in doubles; traced a circle, put a pin through the middle to hold the two layers together, and then cut. Then I used my sewing scissors (that only cut fabric; I never use them on paper. They stay sharp this way.) to cut out the circles. The edges might curl up just a bit, but this adds to the design! Good luck and post back if you do one! I'd love to see it!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995825850232848819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904158839021162039.post-14033385959282116742009-09-17T21:51:24.937-04:002009-09-17T21:51:24.937-04:00Looks great!

Your modification has made a really summery, old-fashioned blouse that's very "seashore."<br /><br />I bind armholes with fabric on sleeveless pieces a lot, and what I do I cut each of the join ends on opposite 45 degree angles and match them up at the join with as a little overlap as possible. This reduces bulk a bit more than just keeping the overlap fold at a minimum.The Hudson-Vadnais'https://www.blogger.com/profile/05159159251565662672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904158839021162039.post-72459398381778017002009-04-30T15:01:00.000-04:002009-04-30T15:01:00.000-04:00How pretty.

(McCall's and Simplicity sometimes add up to 7 extra inches!!)<br /><br />Also, DON"T SKIP THE ZIPPER. You will be so much happier with the way the dress fits if you just take the time to do the zipper.

I also garage/yard sale all summer. It is funny because I usually try out a pattern on the thrifted fabric or sheets, thinking I will eventually make it in "fancier" fabric, but then end up liking the thrifted version :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527868718363056348noreply@blogger.com
