This has taken me ages. Here are some of the pieces for my dress I have done today. With the kitten trying to climb up my pattern :( and my daughter wanting to colour it in it was a hard task!
I will admit on my first top I done a 5 minute tracing job (really didn't get the importance of an accurate pattern). It was awful and led to an ill fitting top which required a lot of adjusting so this attempt I took my time and done it properly. I did cut corners and used baking parchment as I have no dressmaking paper left.
I have heard of some people fusing their patterns to interfacing but as I've got and intend to buy multi-size, I am going to try and keep the originals as they are so I can make different sizes if needed.
I will pin to my practice fabric tomorrow and hope it goes well :) xxx
I agree, pattern tracing is a bore. I just listen to the radio and try to look at it as quiet time! You are also right that accuracy is paramount. It's lovely to have a cheap pattern you aren't too bothered about and just cut into it!
