You have your pants and a pattern too.

The other option is to unpick the favourite garment, make the pattern and then sew the RTW garment back together again. Time consuming I know, but that way you get to eat the cake and have it too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247839857782449437.post-69865151033323249252010-06-04T15:38:16.646-04:002010-06-04T15:38:16.646-04:00Great minds think alike :) and thanks for the remi...Great minds think alike :) and thanks for the reminder! My very first successful shirt pattern came from an Eddie Bauer shirt that I tweaked - just as you described. I sewed many, many shirts from that pattern. I did the same thing with pants. I agree that it's much easier to sacrifice the pants (as opposed to making a copy from them) if it's made from fabric with stretch. You need to lay it out flat, press it and then you can finally see what you are working with. Looking forward to seeing what you sew with your new patterns.a little sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086285440873869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247839857782449437.post-85823672678312638892010-06-04T11:12:33.692-04:002010-06-04T11:12:33.692-04:00One of the best things I learned in my art career ...One of the best things I learned in my art career was that everything is a "muslin". If you don't like a piece (or a garment) it can be re-used in some way whether that's to perfect fit or to cut up for future fabric use or to refashion into another garment or to line pockets and purses. Whatever it takes. Let go of the guilt. Materials are necessary to learn, practice, perfect. HAVE FUN! You'll learn to do by doing. <br /><br />- MyrnaMyrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322129605868685006noreply@blogger.com
