Hello friends, I have a very practical episode with tips on how to make small changes to patterns to make sewing easier. I'm using the Presto from Love Notions to create a dreamed garment with linen. I wanted a versatile piece that I could wear buttoned up on its own, or open like a light layering piece and the changes needed are so simple.
Come and join me to discover:
*How to simplify the banded collar and transform it from 3 pieces to 1 piece
*How to transform a separate placket piece to a simple extension of the front piece
*How to transform a half placket detail to a total length placket so you can wear it open
*Let's add a few cute pin-tucks to a rectangle before cutting out the pattern piece
The Presto Tunic from Love Notions has been updated to improve sizing to 5X. It's $5 this whole weekend! through Sunday 17th of September 2023. This is my affiliate link: www.lovenotions.com/product/p...
