sewing dreaming
I made the peplum cardigan work in the end, by cutting the seams off and re-sewing. I'd cut it too big first time round, so that worked. Pictures to follow once I have gotten someone to take them.
This weekend I made alterations to the pattern pieces of my Style Arc Issy top. I'd no chance of altering them until I'd sewn it once (which I've done - pictures will be forthcoming of that too). Next step is making it in a narrow red and white stripe fabric.
I've found a new pattern to fall in love with: McCalls 6898.
That's the pattern photo. Even more gorgeous is this one.I think I could make it up in a stretch cotton. There are some gorgeous ones around. The pattern rating is "easy" and it comes with a,b,c & d cup sizes. Princess seams, which will be a new challenge.

I have been reading your blog and enjoying it. I too have a figure somewhat like yours and have spent hours trying to get patterns to fit - which sometimes takes all the pleasure out of sewing. I live in Auckland and garden etc. I like the look of the McCalls pattern too.
Cheers,
Margaret
