So rather than trying to find and order a pattern that matched the Single Man Dress in time for the contest, I went to an old pattern I have used a few times before to act as a block.
It's been a while since I used this pattern. Ten years and two kids to be exact.
Hence the grading up a size and the bust point modification needed. Ahem. Thank you, 3 years of combined breastfeeding.
Also, get a load of that bunching around the inset. Yikes! I think I'm going to have to change my idea to suit my skill level.
Here is the new Frankenstein pattern block:
This is the first time I have modified a pattern (other than changing necklines or taking in the sides), so I'm hoping for the best.
I don't know if you can see, but the map behind me is stuck full of pins; all the places we have been and our travel fantasies for the future. My next trip is probably back to Cape Town to host a tech transfer to UCT. Time to start doing a little online searching for fabric, vintage and local designer shops....
