Ready to tear my hair out just about now. I’ve made my third stupid cutting out mistake in a row and I’m all out of fabric to fix it. 🤦‍♀️ Chocolate 🍫 might be the only solution.
Been experimenting with inserting a shelf bra into a vest top. Works OK... (this is what it looks like inside out). Now I just need three more attempts to sort out the sizing and the binding! 🤦‍♀️ #ireallyshouldntsewwhenimtired
Size wrangling…. this is the Seamwork size chart for the Julia vest/tank top – so a light-medium weight knit fabric. I think Seamwork draft for a C-cup, like Colette. So with HB=36” and FB=39”, would you cut the M or the L?
Good post day yesterday... 📮📦🎉
