You did the right thing, laying out the pattern pieces matched together like a finished garment and taking a picture has really helped me in the past. Sometimes you do get lost in all the pieces, having a reference really helps.becki-chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469536334449247839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-74009448579791753352013-09-25T10:22:39.368-07:002013-09-25T10:22:39.368-07:00I had no idea that Marfy sent pattern *pieces* ins...I had no idea that Marfy sent pattern *pieces* instead of a sheet!

Fitting really is the final frontier - but so necessary. Patterns are really just a starting point, and whilst I find it amusing some people direct their frustrations towards the pattern (totally understandable!) it's really not fair on the pattern. After all... are 8 standardised sizes really going to cover every single body shape the human form has to offer? I think not. That said, fitting oneself is truly a difficult thing to do, especially when working with a new and unfamiliar pattern company :) Are you still thinking of persevering with this one? Or switching back to something from the TNT zone? Either way, I know I'll love your end result. Have fun! :)poppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-29775082364865279202013-09-24T21:44:05.117-07:002013-09-24T21:44:05.117-07:00Happy Birthday, Beth!

I've always been curious about Marfy but not tried one yet, since they are pretty difficult to get hold of here, would have to order online. I'm really looking forward to seeing how yours turns out.<br />Your story about the Italian salesgirl made me smile! yes Europeans just say it how it is! I have Italian relatives by marriage so have firsthand experience of that :D and it's not considered rude but intended to be helpful, and if its any consolation she would probably be quite surprised to hear that she caused offence!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-8470935725902753422013-09-24T20:40:44.408-07:002013-09-24T20:40:44.408-07:00Such a wonderful birthday present!Such a wonderful birthday present!becki-chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469536334449247839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-91821626495376098362013-09-24T18:31:40.967-07:002013-09-24T18:31:40.967-07:00Happy Birthday Beth!
