You made a top with bust darts and a top front pleat. I have a question on that and have left it in the comments on that date, if you have a chance to answer - thank you.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-60614434327384871272014-06-02T17:15:38.028-05:002014-06-02T17:15:38.028-05:00Thanks, Helena!

I certainly try to make it look easy, but then again, you don't see all the time I spend staring at the fabric and contemplating my next move. :)Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-51025565841255844452014-06-02T17:14:34.922-05:002014-06-02T17:14:34.922-05:00How old is too old for pigtails?

If you pull it ever so slightly as you sew, and then give it a good press afterward, it conforms to the curves pretty well.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-69025513619876829002014-06-02T17:11:53.612-05:002014-06-02T17:11:53.612-05:00Thanks, Carol!
