And I can understand about the FBA causing some heart palpitations-- I haven't mastered it yet either (and my last attempt to do one was a near-unsalvagable disaster!) One of these days...<br /><br />It looks good, and very professional. I'm so jealous that you were able to find decent yardage at a thrift store-- my only option for that is generally the curtains!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-77124858539587547972011-09-17T04:07:19.584-05:002011-09-17T04:07:19.584-05:00Suck it up.

I want Jackets for Real People to complete my collection!), and it seems really helpful. I'm just intimidated, and need to get over it. Like my fear of trousers. lol<br /><br />I never considered a winter tunic. I wonder how this would take to a heavier fabric, a wool something or other. Hmm, things to consider.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-52531312289519428552011-09-16T23:13:12.907-05:002011-09-16T23:13:12.907-05:00If you want to learn FBA methods, pick up a copy o...If you want to learn FBA methods, pick up a copy of the Palmer and Pleitch fitting books. All invaluable - don't be put off by the hideously dated illustrations.<br />I really like the versatility of this pattern. You should make a winter tunic to wear with a skirt or pants. The lines are very flattering.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622769905155059570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-20052035878652645512011-09-16T22:34:22.515-05:002011-09-16T22:34:22.515-05:00*sigh* I know.

Next time it's needed, I promise I'll do it.<br /><br />As I mentioned in a previous post, my sewing skills sort of plateaued for a bit, and I wasn't really trying anything new. My jacket is showing me that trying something new doesn't have to be hard! :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-57753594201416015652011-09-16T21:40:05.488-05:002011-09-16T21:40:05.488-05:00Yay!

But (and this is based on your comments here and on the jacket, not on how it looks) I think you really should suck it up and learn to FBA. It seems like the shoulders/arm area is a recurring problem, hunny-bu. ;)<br /><br />(I mean that in the nicest way possible, by the way. I tend to dodge the SBA by wearing extra-padded bras)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.com
