Using a Sewing Pattern 101

Over the last couple of weeks, I discovered that some of my friend had never been shown how to use a sewing pattern and how to make up garments from them. So I wrote a couple of tutorials on the prep and making up, amazing what you remember from your O level in Needlecraft and Dress when you put your mind to it. :)

"I will come to your house and walk all over your pattern pieces if you pin them out on the floor " Grin Have you been watching me ???

Yes, I am that cruel...Seriously use a table for pinning out, because you get much better results...

And I would make you iron it all over again WEG

In my defence I use a cutting board on the floor so , please miss, may I be excused ?

Hmmm, well I suppose I could take my shoes off first...

You will really hurt your back, seriously, please try to use a table :)
