Drafting a sleeve pattern
I used this tutorial from Crafty Stylish to create a custom sleeve pattern. It took a while and when I was done I matched it up with sleeve pattern from a previous dress and it was practically the same. Anyway, this is the dress I am making from having copied a dress that I already own. I wanted to duplicate the front bodice design. I fear it may end up being a tiny bit too tight. We’ll seeIf it is I’ll fudge it by adding an exposed zipper instead of a hidden one. STND BACK I AM A PROFESSIONAL.
I used some tracing paper from a roll and grid paper from a big pad of paper from an office supply store. It was a useful exercise and I’m glad I went through it.
The dress is very silly… Let this be a lesson to me about using cute quilting type fabrics for clothes. Or maybe I’ll be able to pull it off… I don’t know!
Speaking of professional… I get so stressed out about filling out forms where theyask for an Occupation. WTF is my occupation?
“Professional stayer in pajamas all day while a tiny human clings to me”
“Professional eye roller at whiny child at the park”
“Professional ditherer”
“Professional butt wiper”!
