You Have to Start Somewhere
As I’ve decided to go down the road of garment sewing this year, I think it best to start out right. And by right I mean to actually acquire the ability to alter a store bought pattern to fit MY body - not the idealized body that doesn’t really exist. I figure to do this I should start out with a sloper that is an accurate representation of my shape (as scary as that is). Now, HOW do I do this? I’ve been researching on the net (oh how I LOVE the Internet…) the myriad ways of creating a sloper. I have to tell you, my head hurts right now at the thought of trying to accomplish this. I know I’m probably just making a mountain out of a molehill, but like I said in a previous posts, dressmakers patterns make me nervous and the thought of actually making my own, well, that just freaks me out. Isn’t it strange how I feel so intimidated by garment patterns but I can tackle the absolute hardest of quilting block patterns with hardly the blink of an eye from drafting my own marine
