Thank you. That’s very kind. My others are from the same pattern, but I paired the ‘balloon’ aspect down! You can see them as part of a black and white coord in an earlier post. I actually don’t like WBM patterns. I have made several and aside from...

What Should Designers Check Before Sending A Pattern Into Production?

LydiaDesignStudio · 2 days ago

What To Sew With A Viscose Twill With 5% Spandex?

SewHayleyJane · 5 days ago Admin

Hi Stephanie - how heavy is the fabric? I think these patterns are lovely but the stretch of the fabric would be lost on them as they are designed to be pull on and loose. I wonder if a pair of trousers with maybe a flat waistband and side or...

I do like the Hayley - but really love your Montrose - a top I am very fond of, and the fabric is just right. Because of the gathered back, Montrose doesn't work for some fabrica, but when it does, I think it hangs beautifully. I hope things settle...
