dressmaking.
      05/05/2008 20:49

Hi, I have recently "come back" to revisit an old hobby of dressmaking. Years ago I wasn't too fussy and just made everything very roughly(and it showed)Now I like to use proper patterns and do it properly. However, i have found in my old stock , some inherited materials, lovely the are too, duchesse satin, tweed and moire taffeta, but they are only 36" wide. the problem is that all modern patterns seem to cater for 45" or 60 " patterns. Has anybody any tips for suitable patterns or ideas that may help me out?
Thanks, Joan.
