fiberaddictCyn gave me a Sam's Club membership.....that's a DANGEROUS thing, y'all. I need to figure out storage, because.....yeah. Much cheaper to buy paper goods and bottled water in bulk. And cereal.
Tigger is doing OK. We got home from shopping and I let her out of the bedroom...and she and Chloe AND Bree got into it. :sigh: Not sure what's up with them.....this AM they are besties again.
Today we are going to the Fabric Outlet district. I have a list....:lol: OH, H - have you heard of Mrs. Dewpre on Etsy? I....um.....fell down. She's got a LOT of vintage, scalable patterns (with the rulers and instructions on how to get a perfect fit!) for....not too much money. She has a deal - 3 $8.50 patterns for $22, which.....um. I got Herself a blouse and jacket pattern, and me a blouse/pedal pusher combo. I know HOW to grade/upsize scaled patterns, but I've never done it before (just helped. 21 years ago. This is going to be FUN. :lol:) I also bought a .pdf set on Underwear and Lingerie from the '40s - I printed it out and have some reading to do. It was put out by The Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences, and looks to be from a correspondence course. No, I'm not doing underwear Right Now....but Soon. :lol:
Need to get our Summer School going....then it's off to the stores. Looks to be a fun (albeit HOT!) day today!

Date: 2015-06-25 02:30 pm (UTC)I don't think the grading up will solve all your fitting problems, basically because some of those problems are proportional, but let me know! Should get you halfway there anyhow... and I'd be interested to know how it goes. :D
I picked up this book on fitting and bought the craftsy class. Haven't worked through it yet, life being what it is, but have used the methods a time or two, and they're helpful. http://www.craftsy.com/class/fast-track-fitting/314
http://www.amazon.com/Create-Perfect-Fit-Measuring-Solutions/dp/1440239614 I have a lot of fitting issues, so something like this is better for me than just "do an FBA". I do an FBA and then I make the back a size smaller (or two) than the front and then I shorten everything and then I make a large-bicep adjustment and then ... anyhow. :p
I <3 craftsy classes, and they go on sale constantly.
