I...I think its lookin pretty good for a 1st toile!<br /><br />In tailoring class (fitted wool jacket) we had to chalk round all the pieces and then add on varied sizes of seam allowance. For bits that were expected to fit fairly well due to flat pattern measuring, standard SA was added for the bits that were kind 'suck it and see' (that would be your icecream portion there) the SA was as much as 2"! This meant it could be let out and rebasted/chalked while you were trying it on.<br /><br />Good luck with 2.0<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AJA Peppermint Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496009149874919428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-26590631368331656402010-05-15T19:25:53.111+10:002010-05-15T19:25:53.111+10:00Totally empathize with the ice cream gap.
