Sewing is less expensive and more fun than psychiatric care!

PRINCESS  LINE - GARMENTS

This is the easiest style to use wearing clothes to be stylish                         unique and definitely well fitted! Any seam in a garment                         offers an opportunity to adjust fit, but vertical seams are                        most helpful when it comes to increasing or decreasing                   circumference measurements.

Draft your pattern remember the dots on the waistline                         should be your BUST MEASUREMENT. Cut the pattern front                      and back out. Don’t separate the pattern pieces as yet.                         Fold in the dart sections of the pattern (or the princess lines), matching notches. Decrease or increase the pattern if necessary, draw new lines in and cut out new pattern. You will have a center front and side front, center back  and side back. Stick together and fit
