Also, don’t forget: if you sewed a shirt during November, hashtag it with #CSCShirtMakingParty on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), submit it to our Flickr group, or email it to us (mail@curvysewingcollective.com) by December 10! We’ll do a fun round-up in December – and three lucky participants will win great prizes!
This was a fabulous series. Do it again with another product–maybe pants? I find it harder to fit them than anything else and usually resort to elastic waist.
We’re going to have to bite the bullet sometime and tackle pants – we’re all so uniquely proportioned below the waist though, so it’s a tricky one to write about! Glad you enjoyed shirtmaking month! 🙂
Did you read Jenny’s post on plaid matching?
You must be reading my mind! I’m just planning a shirt right now. I would appreciate an article on matching up horizontal patterns. I tried the Craftsy Shirt class and the Libety shirt as well but my memory is poor so I’m happy to follow a long with you. Thank you.
