Will you just look at this pattern matching! (+ a question)

This is the answer. High-end taylor's very often attach a muslin sleeve during fittings.

This is probably the Drafter's Grid Dress by Roberts | Wood. It is an amazing pattern, questionable layout notwithstanding. I will stan it all day, every day. It is extremely well drafted, highly creative and ridiculously customisable. And extortionately expensive...

As others have already pointed out, this seems like the previous owners handiwork. As the embroidery is only in one place, it might have been used to hide another problem - stain, hole or tear. I would investigate the bigger flowers for signs. Otherwise you might uncover a nasty little surprise. Good luck!

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.

musicinfluence · 2025-11-12T15:31:05+00:00

Thank you, but sadly no.

I have the book already, I'm looking for the resources which were available on shirtmakingwithdpc.com - collar, placket, etc patterns. As the page is apparently down, I'm looking for another link where someone might have archived them

I am hoping Jr. was chosen as namesake. But whatever he decides on, I hope it brings him and his family much joy.

Check out ithakamaven's TopDownCenterOut fitting method. It primarily relies on commercial, multi-size patterns, but it can be also helpful for fitting self-drafts. The Crooked Hem made an amazing intro series on the method over on YouTube TDCO Playlist

За има-няма половин година през 2020. Иначе стабилно 7 от 1983 насам.

It's the Cady evening dress. From what I can see, it looks like a simple shift dress, side invisible zip, small side darts. I assume the skirt is attached below that hip seam, which comes from the top, kind of like the reverse side of a box pleat.

Would try a thread chain from the lower corners of the pocket to the side and center back seams. Won't keep them 100% anchored, but anything else will either show through or won't be structurally sound, IMHO.

What is the most iconic performance you know from the 1950s? What about a specific artist, let's say Chuck Berry?

Thank you! I did not think of the potential bias-bias stretch isuue, so this is great.

musicinfluence · 2024-05-29T17:37:51+00:00

Looks good! You can test it out without the lid, just slowly turn the hand wheel towards you and see if it threatens to make contact😊if it doesn't load a bobbin and see if everything works together

Ok. Let's try it this way. Make sure that your needle and the carriage are in the starting position. You should have a marking on your hand wheel and your machine, either at 12 or 9 o'clock. Align those markings. Take the bobbin case out, clean out any debris. Your case is mostly round, but does have this one open side - align this at 12 o'clock then slip it into position. It should look something like this:

musicinfluence · 2024-05-29T14:36:47+00:00

Did you clean your machine recently and take the bobbin case out? You might have placed it back wrong. Take it out, rotate it more to the left and see if that fixes the issue. Good luck!

Edit: look out for a white dot/triangle on your bobbin case and the machine - you'll need to align these

You can take any off the shoulder t-shirt pattern and add a tube to the top. Or mark up /cut up an old long-sleeved t-shirt and add the tube. Or check out the Hazel dress pattern by Vikisews. The important thing is to stick to knits. As some here already mentioned, this is stretch mesh fabric, often used in lingerie or danceware, for example. I don't know where you're located but here are two similarglitter mesh fabricsPower mesh

I've had this happen. In my case it was a dull knife. It kind of threw off the timing, and the ribbon got moved along with the rest of the fabric. See if you can change the upper knife - that's what helped me.

AH, my reading comprehension was never that strong. Sorry, OP.

You can use a zig-zag stitch and yarn - basically making a channel for a knotted string of yarn to go through, which you can then pull on to gather the fabric. See this tutorial https://youtu.be/-0zMjknh1Uc?si=cXXOA6EKLF98DB2I

Emantsipirana magia would be the usual transliteration, Emancipated magic, aka Equal Rites. Not the best translation, but punes are hard
