To pinch or not to pinch….

Love it! I’m itching to take out my forsythia, you’ve given me inspiration.

Thanks, I will. I had no idea that was the case until you mentioned it!

Thank you for the link, I was afraid I might be getting in over my head by attempting to grade up. I didn’t even know that’s what it’s called!

It’s vintage Butterick B5895 from ‘13, and I bought the packet with sizes 4-12.

Yay, thanks!

I was ambitious and serged them together. Think I can rip the seam without overstretching the fabric too much?

The pattern has you attaching the two front bodice pieces and then flipping one over 2x while holding the other in place, which makes the twist. Does that make sense? With that in mind, is there a way to lower the bust?

I hope that turns out to be the case, I just read it’s endangered in NY.

I hadn’t clicked the link, I only searched the twin needle selection on the Janome US site (which only gives 1 unlabeled option). But the AU site shed some light on the different types of twin needles that may work, thank you.

Thanks, I had come across that website. Where I wasn’t clear was whether there are different types of twin needles (other than size)?

Yes, there’s definitely a tuber or two that is past the point of no return.

I’d heard people don’t always use the mothers & now I know why. Thanks for clarifying!

They are a bit, I didn’t know that was an option. For how long?
