This one has only one real seam, so it takes no time to sew, and gives me the illusion of a waist - it's definitely my favourite. I think that's why I like the Japanese books so much, they seem more drafted for my shape than La Mia Boutique or the more hourglassy indies.<br /> - and I'm forever putting a last minute edit into my posts (like the year of my culottes pattern), so it should work ;) Have you linked it over on Tanoshii as well? I didn't realise I could have linked my IG pic last week as well, so I'll do that for the next one.<br />& I can't wait to see your next creation! ;)MaciNichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165307130447217668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992719705821442384.post-67993817263971365802015-02-10T02:47:48.805-08:002015-02-10T02:47:48.805-08:00Thank you.

It can use up a lot of time, however I do suggest popping over & trying it out ;)MaciNichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165307130447217668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992719705821442384.post-18221465848536723572015-02-09T17:08:15.241-08:002015-02-09T17:08:15.241-08:00Thank you ;) And Thank You so very much for organi...Thank you ;) And Thank You so very much for organising everything, and for being so welcoming to those of us who are English only speakers, we definitely appreciate being part of your community!
