Think I should come off Amazon before I just buy all the pattern cutting books! Haha.<br />No excuses for you not to make a leather Ziggi jacket now. The shop has a really good website but think they are doing it up at the mo. Deffo worth checking it out when they have it back up and running xoxTwinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760763174169573766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137399789427716129.post-13192431120014605362017-02-01T18:12:45.863+00:002017-02-01T18:12:45.863+00:00The fit on your toile looks brilliant!

They work from the Craftsy block from their block drafting class, but you don't need to use that exact one - because I don't!

Need to make my skirt block so I can draft lovely dresses too!<br /><br />I would recommend Portfolio Skills: Pattern Cutting by Dennic Chunman Lo. for something pretty in-depth with lots of background fashiony stuff or Pattern Cutting Made Easy by Gillian Holman for something that just gets straight into it. Pattern cutting made easy is good because once you have your block it shows you how to alter in to make various options like a fitted kimono block, v neck lines, button stands, collars, princess seams tucks and pleats and all sorts! It also covers how to make your block into a jacket or trousers and the instructions are pretty clear once you know your way round the block which you obviously do! :) <br /><br />I definitely think I need a trip... it sounds amazing! I really fancy a leather Ziggi jacket but didn't know where to go for leather so thanks for sharing!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819472166081973455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137399789427716129.post-10501446581428455972017-01-30T19:29:53.812+00:002017-01-30T19:29:53.812+00:00Thanks Charlotte!

Already bought fabric for the next one but reminding myself not to rush it!! Keep at it, it's very rewarding!<br />Book recommendations would be great! Looked at a few that looked a bit daunting but reckon it will make more sense now I understand a bit more.<br />Deffo worth a visit to Identity Store! So much stock, all kinds of buckles and accessories and stuff you'd never even dream about as well as leathers... Very inspiring! xoxTwinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760763174169573766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137399789427716129.post-51090909677224097222017-01-30T06:18:55.499+00:002017-01-30T06:18:55.499+00:00Your blocks look great, can't wait to see even...Your blocks look great, can't wait to see even more self drafted patterns in the future! I've been trying to teach myself but it's going a bit slow... I have found some great books though if you want any recommendations for further pattern making reading :-)<br /><br />Also, there's a leather shop in Matlock!? Who knew!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819472166081973455noreply@blogger.com
