Finally finished my jacket.
Pattern is drafted by me. -
Made changes to the pattern ( those lines inside).
And cut the pieces out for the second attempt.But first i have to finish the jacket, which hangs around for weeks now.

Yesterday i had some time to draft a pattern (per hand😮 rare indeed).
I never made or tried to make my underwear myself, but it always interested me.
I also hardly ever sew with knitted fabric, i always prefer woven fabric (maybe sometimes with a bit of stretch).
So this will be an experiment.My first try will be a simple slip. I think the front looks good, but i struggled a bit with the lower curve of the back...we will see.

Battery replacement didn't stop the machine from beeping, but it can't stop me from planning ahead - I tried something new and drafted a sweater pattern based on a fleece that fits me perfectly. I hope this works out!

A tip from #PatternDrafting world wherein Jeff's shirt pattern needed altering yesterday: this is the fastest and most accurate way to find the pivot (notch) point on an armscye. Details in the alt text.
Related: any sleeve cap drafting method that involves more than a French curve is wasting your time. #sewing #ElfkinCouture

Absolutely losing whatever is left of my sanity trying to get this shoulder dart right for a basic historical bodice.
I can't tell if I'm just stupid or if the book (Elizabeth Friendship's "Creating Historical Clothes") is just not made for beginners. I feel dumb and very frustrated.

I swear nothing makes me feel more stupid than trying to grade or draft a pattern.
And the problem is I need to be able to do this because the things I want to make don't have patterns. Ugh.
This rant is brought to you by my latest attempt at sizing a Janet Arnold pattern and rage quitting. Again.
