I think I am more about altering than sewing these days; fresh yardage is not as much fun as surgical work. I bought a couple of custom seam rippers with interchangable (and very sharp and pointy) japanese ripper parts. A true pleasure to work with. Bigger handles easier to manuever.<br /> <br />I was about to say that must be an Ericson pattern; I am sure she is a wonderful person but I have emitted more profanity over her work. And as a pattern maker, I understand how it happens ALL TOO WELL.SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-55674414092951039962016-05-02T11:57:47.725-05:002016-05-02T11:57:47.725-05:00I did the best I could with dressing it up, but I ...I did the best I could with dressing it up, but I think it needs to go on the surgery block.
