Leah, Since I remember that you're rather shortwaisted, I'd adjust to shorten the pattern at the waist & hip. Bring the indicated W & H marks up to match yours. You may also need to make adjustment at the neck, bustline & across the shoulder since IIRC you're bustier than the typical B or C cup Folkwear designs for. Have fun at GenCon, I'm missing this year, --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [h-cost] Questions: Tibetan Panel Coat To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain To anyone who has made Folkwear's Tibetan Panel Coat, or lives someplace where they can take a look at a real one: Is this supposed to be a knee-length garment, or a mid-calf? The envelope picture isn't clear. I already tried asking Folkwear directly, and the response was "moron, look at the back of the envelope, it's a 47" long garment". 47 inches long would be almost floor-length on me, and I know that's too long. I need to shorten this, but how _much_ do I need to shorten it? Also, my pattern does not have the adjustment lines that the pattern instructions claim are present. Does it work better to shorten at the hem, or about the middle of the pattern piece?
