I'll have to check out the CAE - they have some really interesting courses on!! I'm just loving the options on that McCalls pattern - it's the first that I've liked at first site to date. Specifically View D. But I like the idea of a structured one piece too.. mainly because you can build in a bit of support. That last piece would be super flattering too - love the vintage lines. poppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907426721455598897.post-36032366426026516772012-09-11T02:41:45.490+10:002012-09-11T02:41:45.490+10:00I loved making the Mrs Depew pattern! here's ...I loved making the Mrs Depew pattern! here's my version and all of my notes: http://megthegrand.blogspot.com/2012/06/sew-weekly-challenge-v-c-t-i-o-n-in.html<br /><br />I cannot recommend it enough, but there is a zipper involved and it really does help with the fit!<br /><br />I also have your second pattern cut out, but as it is just getting chilly around here, I think it will have to wait until summer rolls around again :)<br /><br />Let me know what you pick!Meg the Grandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505371880343451606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907426721455598897.post-66928134078655193622012-09-10T17:54:22.212+10:002012-09-10T17:54:22.212+10:00I'll be interested to see how you find the cla...I'll be interested to see how you find the class, swimwear is just still something that boggles the mind for me...if a mistake is made and the wardrobe malfunctions...
