You don't need to be a genius to see I am still captivated by twist patterns. Perhaps they really suit the whole idea of the #PatternPuzzle. This type of jersey twist is not so unusual in the fashion ranges at the moment. The small and unusual detail of placing the twist off centre is very appealing if not a little clever.
Our #PatternPuzzle fans, new and returning, had this weird pattern shape worked out by lunch time with the final twist in the detail.
If you'd like to learn my method for creating Twist Drape Patterns I have a detailed worksheet for making Jersey Twist Patterns. For just a few dollars you'll get the same training you'd get if you came to the workshop in my studio.

This one looks quite difficult - but the results are stunning. Looking forward to Saturday's workshop.
ReplyDeleteYes it did bend my head a little but I won in the end. I do love a good challenge. Saturday's Tailored Jackets will be great. Really looking forward to it. :)
ReplyDeleteHow would one make a skirt that looks like this top, in other words with the twist at the hem of the skirt? I think it would look very stylish.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon. Are you after pattern making or sewing instructions? If it's about the pattern you could apply the same as above on a front skirt block. Re sewing, that could only be explained with a photo tutorial including step by step instructions. Sorry I don't have that for you. :-/ Maybe one day I will get a chance to sew all the pattern puzzles. Fingers crossed! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the reply. Actually, I was simply interested in the pattern making. I was not sure if the twist would be transposed onto the skirt front pattern block. Many thanks!
DeleteHi Sharon. Had a quick look at this skirt issue and wondered if you have a picture of what you are after? Not as straight forward as I thought and a photo or sketch would help me work it out. :)
DeleteThis is the skirt that has been keeping me up nights! It seems like it should be simple, but I can't quite get it: http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/cuttingwork/IMG_1220_resize.JPG
DeleteGreat, now I have something solid to work with it should be easier. Will let you know how I go. Thx :)
DeleteThank you so much! This has just been boggling me!
DeleteHey Sharon, details in the latest blog post for two twist style skirts. :)
DeleteNo problem. I think the only real difference is that the seam might be in a different place on the skirt. Let me know how you go.
