Zone 8B Dallas, TX
Hello!
All of these were taken at 3 pm.
I have a temporary potted 2 week store bought hydrangea. It has central new growth and has been stable for now. I have these places where I could plant, and might buy additional bushes later on. Thankfully we have trees that provide great shade.
Ignore the unpressed darts, my iron broke.
I have only sewed one side.
How is the fit? Should I add more fabric to the front or back of the arm?
Any other suggestions?
This would be my second bodice block. Thank you!
I absolutely fell in love with the style and fit of the shirt, however, the pattern maker has not finished or sent updates for it. I am looking for a similar pattern, preferably free.
So delicious and incredibly easy!
