I ha...Colo Heather: Thanks for your lovely comment! I have been sewing since my 13s, and started blogging back in 2007, already with several years of practice and lots of handmade garments made, including suits and coats, so, in spite of having learned a lot since then, my sewing evolved more in terms of efficiency. BTW, I am also working from home, and all my makes progress during weekends and holidays,... I do have more time to see because now we rarely go out or travel, but on the other hand I also have all the household work, since we dismissed the cleaning lady due to safety measures during the pandemic. We also have a garden, but that is my husband's hobby, so he takes care of it. Regarding fitting, my experience is limited to myself,... To truly dominate fitting techniques I believe one should practice a lot and on different bodies. I know the basics, so I don't consider myself as an expert, other than being able to see and spot if a garment hangs correctly, the darts are correctly placed, etc. I also believe that the sewing process itself influences fit, because if the grainlines are not thoroughly respected, all the markings and notches are not precisely marked, all the inner structure (interfacing, tapes, etc.) Is not correctly applied, and if the garment was not well pressed during the process, it won't look well on the body. All this can be taught, but in my case comes from personal experience and an almost obsessive attention to detail 😊. Have a wonderful day!Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-91184108617853303942020-06-19T03:15:43.095+01:002020-06-19T03:15:43.095+01:00I like the asymmetrical patterns you are making!
...I like the asymmetrical patterns you are making!<br /><br />Do you have a blog on how you learned your techniques and Couture type details? Or started on the detailed sewing you do? I may have much less sewing time than you as Covid has not impacted me much since I work at home - in fact work is busier! And gardening season has been in full swing. I am working on fitting garments more than techniques now. Thanks. 😊Colo Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256031569494804993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-14957963847529970572020-06-18T16:33:41.551+01:002020-06-18T16:33:41.551+01:00very interesting shirt.

Great fix with the zip. I can't see how it would work otherwise.
