janestarzOf these things happy memories are made:
- A warm windowsill
- The empty block on fresh pattern paper, ready for your design
- A kitty overseeing all with a warm butt from aforementioned windowsill.
Once I had the basic block done, the pattern was done in an hour! I can't believe how simple this turns out to be...and a little fearful that it isn't. Perhaps making the hard design choices on a copy of the ¼ scale pattern helps with the final full-scale pattern.
I'm going to make a muslin of the design to see if I can do the pleats in the back the way I want to, and fit the coat on my stepdad before drawing the lining.
