If you require Construction Steps for your pattern, please let me know before placing your order. - NO hem or seam allowance. - NO detailed instruction, only the notches and symbols, and named lines basic instructions. - NO step-by-step illustrations to go with instructions - NO cutting charts for individual sizes, the cutting diagram are for a stacked, graded pattern so some sizes may require less fabric.

To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html Once you’ve taken your measurements, please paste them into the “Note” box on the Order page. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ How to choose a STANDARD SIZE? I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces—as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.

Sew a classic women's t-shirt with a v neckline using this free pdf pattern and step by step video tutorial

If you watch my stories then you saw I went to a fashion show and saw the Lafayette148 Collection. I went with a friend of mine and at first she said....she thought that their clothes were matronly to her. But.....after the show she was shocked at how the stylist put things together....yes they were classic styles but she put a fresh spin on them. Then we started talking about that movie The Thomas Crown Affair....because she had watched it recently and in actuality the fashion show reminded her of Rene Russo's style in the movie. In fact there are numerous Pinterest boards dedicated to her outfits! I mentioned to my friend that it reminded me of a "capsule collection" where you have a few different pieces and they can all be mixed and matched. I decided to put a few outfits together that could maybe fit that bill.....couldn't we all save $$$ if we followed that reasoning? Myself included! The first one I used pretty much all black but adding a camel jacket. necklace, purse, jacket, top, leggings, shoes Here is an all black outfit similar to one she wore in the movie! jacket, sunglasses, top, shirt, boots Below I paired some of the items with jeans for a more casual look. In the movie she had on camel pants and a jacket....but seriously I could not find a camel suit! earrings, coat, top, gloves, jeans, shoes I saw a skirt similar on the Layfette148 website but it wasn't in the fashion show. I found the one below which was similar at BP. purse, jacket, top, belt, skirt, boots Here is an image of the Layfette148 outfit! Here is how to take a LBD and make it more casual.....but still look "hot" :) jacket, sunglasses, pearls, dress, gloves, shoes And last.....dress up the leggings with some pearls.... pearls, jacket, top, purse, leggings, shoes I've got one more day in Boulder so hopefully I will have some pictures to share with you on Friday! Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.... Sherika
