sewing report

this is a pattern from a book, the kind that has minimal insructions- vague sizing info and tear out sheets you trace the pattern from. Agg. You can see how it was supposed to look in the drawing.

But this is how it looks when done - about 7" of open space in the middle. So, I made a panel and sewed extra lace on top of it. It will cover the opening and hopefully look cute.

 I like the style but if I make it again I will make major fixes to the pattern.

this is what I am working on now

it is a job for a client. I am making a pattern and a tech pack for this bear.  They had it in production out of state and the factory lost the pattern. They had some things they thought was the pattern but after I made them, we realized they were wrong. I ended up having to take the only sample apart and make a proto from it.  Amost done.

Dress help

This is a job I did for a client. He was turning 50 and wanted to make a dress that was from 50 years ago.  He found this Simplicity Pattern and hired me to alter the pattern so it would fit him. I also helped him pick out fabric and sew it.  I ended up eliminating the pattern and lining (too much for newbie) but he did a really good job.
