I may tack part of the pocket opening on the sides to try to keep it closed. <br /><br />Oh the lessons we learn the hard way!<br /><br />I thought that the book looked really interesting. I'm curious of others reaction to it. The woman at the fabric store raved about it enthusiastically! How did you find it for drafting patterns for your kids, Tanit-Isis?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-2377449274304528732011-09-08T11:13:48.253-05:002011-09-08T11:13:48.253-05:00Also I just saw your comment on Steph's blog a...Also I just saw your comment on Steph's blog about the "Metric Pattern Cutting" book, if that's the one by Winifred Aldrich, I really like it, although I haven't actually made up a block for myself from it yet (I did draft some stuff for my kids, though.)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-74219899535164480942011-09-08T10:47:33.091-05:002011-09-08T10:47:33.091-05:00Yay!

Welt pockets tend to sag open a bit always, that's why it's a good idea to put a little of the shell fabric inside (I learnt this AFTER sewing them on a pair of pants that now have permanent shiny-lining showing on the butt, sigh). That's the book (mine came from VV too) that took me from costume sewing to making things I actually wear! :)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-60434617342274161452011-09-08T04:45:04.358-05:002011-09-08T04:45:04.358-05:00You've done really well.
