My hips are uneven - not enough for the average person to notice, but enough so that it really mattered in my pattern draft - so it could be that you have the same thing going on. Just a thought. I also think Beangirl has a point about bringing up the hem which will help the side seam to fall in line a bit more. Otherwise, I think the skirt is looking good!amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-78806194796034681682010-03-14T10:31:49.805-04:002010-03-14T10:31:49.805-04:00Haha Gwen!

That's why I loved the Palmer-Plesch book Real Fit for Real People - they have a section showing how you'll change with age, and I realized it's inevitable, it's not my fault!Dr. Fun (AKA Sister)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332652703590699186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-70929215984051157742010-03-12T20:10:02.245-05:002010-03-12T20:10:02.245-05:00I wonder if you enjoyed drafting your pattern? So...I wonder if you enjoyed drafting your pattern? Some people enjoy it, some not. I'd rather use a printed pattern--let someone else do all the work, and make my fitting alterations or design changes to it. Enjoy your flat tummy because one day-that middle-age squat thing happens!

Do you usually do that on your regular patterns? Otherwise this looks really great! <br /><br />The pattern-drafting <i>is</i> simplisitic, I thought, even if you've never done patterns but had extensive fitting experience. But you know, I like the idea of starting from scratch and seeing what you get. So far everyone seems to be getting something pretty good.<br /><br />I'm curious to see how my versions of these go since they are clearly intended for people who are pretty slim. Should be interesting, right?Beangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402852482784879141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-74796038495244387472010-03-12T17:31:35.649-05:002010-03-12T17:31:35.649-05:00"I have a reasonably flat stomach..."
