MIA...

I've been missing here,, but I have been sewing,, trying to get more done for Holly,, I really like this pattern, especially now that I have it almost perfect,, ha ha,,,its taken me a while...


I had to raise the dart,, it is supposed to be angled up, but with this material it has a horizontal lines so I had to raise them,,, I also had to raise the front shoulder,, funny thing,, the back shoulder line is higher than the front...

It would seem for some reason when I drew off the sleeve, I made it too small, can't imagine how I did that,, the brighter white is the too small sleeve... the top pattern is Tru-grid,,, I love this stuff..

Tracing off the sleeve,, this stuff is so see through,, you can see both the pattern, and the lines from my cutting table through it, making it very easy to line things up...

Oops, ran out of material,, oh as they say in heirloom sewing,, there are no mistakes, just opportunities..


                                                       And  whallaa..



I think I need to take a little more in in the front armscye  (sp) (I looked it up and tried spelling it three different times,, you get the idea,, sigh)

                                              Sleeve looks pretty good...
