Love the patterns in this month’s magazine and the articles. I know that there is a lot of discussion about inclusive sizing, but as someone who is sewing as RTW is hard to find to fit, because I’m petite, busty and leggy, I’d love it if more of the patterns were smaller. (I’m 5’2″, 32E (39-29-34) with a 30″ inside leg. That 34″ hip is too small for many patterns and pattern company ranges.)
Hi! I’m a total beginner and I’m making the wrap skirt from the pattern that came with issue 66.
In step 6 it tells you to to pin the tie to the skirt. But I was wondering if it should be attached to just the waist facing?
Please help!
Many thanks!
