  1. final piccy for posting

    A few grainline issues with this one. Sweeping angular panels prove difficult! You would think that the grainline should be perpendicular to the waistline at all times, but actually I dont think this is the case. I rotated the panels very slightly (3.5 deg) and it improved the wrinkling that you sometimes see when grainlines are not correct. More work required on this subject I think!

  2. This has been the biggest, longest and most difficult pattern development ever! 5 weeks, 20 patterns, 154 pages - more of a compendium of cuppery! I wanted a pattern where the cups are in the correct position so I designed the underbusts/ wire position to be at 5, 6, 7 and 8'' above the waistline. That doesn't cover every body shape of course, so I my have to do more at some point, but for now this is the latest pattern uploaded to Etsy and Patreon.
