Once again the much favoured Jersey Twist is featured on the Saturday morning #PatternPuzzle. A big thank you to all our fans that come along to play and watch. :)
This week there is an addition to our #PatternPuzzle post with the inclusion of imperial measurements for our US fans. Huge thanks to Lisa at Poldapop Designs for pointing out how much easier this would make the teaching of our worksheets in the states. Lisa is one of the first teachers to take on our Basic Skirt Draft Worksheet as a teaching tool in her classes. The results have been positive so we will work hard to provide imperial equivalents in all our pattern making instructions. :)
YOu'll find all the pattern making detail on the website blog.
That looks like a really flattering design Anita. But to be honest, I'd actually be pretty excited if I get the cap sleeve right!!
ReplyDeleteThx Lesley. :) It all has to start somewhere and a cap sleeve is a great place to start. How is your pattern making going?
DeleteOh my gosh! I have a royal blue fabric! I think it would be so good for that...making it...will keep u posted :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this style would be fabulous in royal blue. Can hardly wait to see your photos. :)
DeleteI still cannot understand how to make the twist. Is it possible to give some master class, some pictures of the process? Please :)
ReplyDeleteHi Svetlana. Thx for dropping by. I will try to make a photo tutorial for twists in the coming week. :) Like our Facebook page for first notification when we post.
DeleteHello, newbie pattern cutter Here! Does this mean you need a double sided fabric ? Also, after the twist how do you complete the seams ? What kind of fabric do you recommend ?
ReplyDeleteHi There, thx for dropping by. This dress is made up of double twists so double-sided fabric not required. The seams leading into the twists are a little weird to sew. Use notches to make sure your not distorting the fabric and sew as far as you can into the twist. As far as fabric goes, only use two-way stretch jersey with some elastane (spandex/lycra). In the US I think they call it four-way stretch. As long as the fabric has the same stretch on both the warp and weft. Hope this helps. :)
DeleteAbsolutely fantastic, edgy design! Thanks for sharing your ideas.
DeleteMy pleasure. :)
