She's just started sewing, though, and tends to think things through a lot, so sewing can be a bit on the slow side. But she's new and eager, and posts hilarious pictures of her projects draped on various disgruntled pets. :)<br /><br />Although I should point out, she doesn't just post about sewing projects. She has a wide range of crafty interests, including cross stitch, knitting, and recently she's picked up crocheting. <br /><br />Her name is Heather, and her blog is called FussWorks.<br />http://fussworks.blogspot.ca/Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-50533986328504423392012-03-16T16:20:59.805-05:002012-03-16T16:20:59.805-05:00Eu amo ULLAs Quilt World.Ela é fantástica e faz pe...Eu amo ULLAs Quilt World.Ela é fantástica e faz peças que me encantam sempre.Vá lá conferir e se surpreenda.Beijos.tubilinha tiacarminhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456256834346085398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-28001034523219729032012-03-15T21:16:48.481-05:002012-03-15T21:16:48.481-05:00Pick me, pick me :)

Nancy Zieman, it says on that site, helped in the creation of the book. <br /><br />In addition to standard tools, it is helpful but not mandatory to have a good French curve set for pattern design when using the book.

It is a comprehensive fit manual, the best that I have ever seen. I had given up seeing because I couldn't get anything to fit, then I stumbled across this book, and it was a revelation! There are also booklets that cover specific subjects, such as pants. Nancy Zieman has adopted her methods, although her work does not seem to be as comprehensive. I managed to track her down several years ago to buy a copy. She was in poor health and looking for someone to pick up distribution duties. It looks like she did; see hiplinemedia.com. <br /><br />This book is amazing. It took me from someone who could never seem to get anything to fit to tailoring shirts for my husband where I changed the slope of the shoulder, the width at the shoulder, I cut the chest width an amazing four inches, altered the sleeves so he could still raise his arms, and lengthened the sleeves. The poor guy obviously had never had a shirt fit before. He looked gorgeous in them, instead of sloppy in his RTW. This is several years ago now, and I don't pay any attention to the so-called alteration instructions on patterns--they are worse than useless.retired engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413025278233370792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-15141745177338717922012-03-14T12:00:49.741-05:002012-03-14T12:00:49.741-05:00Haha no you're still there.
