I felt more in control than when using my pattern drafting software. As you may know, sewers are control freaks. I like measuring me and measuring out that line on a piece of paper. And Ms. Patch is very kind. I was a little freaked out by the absence of ease (of which there is too much always in my computer assisted program!) and Cal messaged me twice to guide me, and this skirt, unlike all the others I have made, stands a chance to actually fit me. I am now going on to see what she says about the muslin, if anything, in the intermediate class where the skirt is sewn. It's so fun!
