I have made two muslins for bodices with it, and they seem to fit! I have had to make a change or two, but they are the same changes I would have to make with any other pattern. <br /><br />I have been wondering if anyone out there had used this kit. It seems very like the Lutterloh system, which seems to have a substantial following. I wonder if the grading scale is the same, because Lutterloh puts out a new pattern book a couple of times a year, I think.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818810839781851407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-7367143267312191082013-06-10T23:05:03.516+01:002013-06-10T23:05:03.516+01:00Thank you!

I suspect that being given this kit at an impressionable age could be enough to put anyone off dressmaking for life!<br /><br />Worryingly, I have now come across a VERY 70s style cotton fabric, and am sorely tempted to try this out...

I'd made several clothes using conventional patterns, but my mother must have thought this would be more creative. I didn't ever use it. To be honest I think the awfulness of the clothes illustrated on the cover put me off. Even then they seemed out of date. Ha! That could be my kit you came across!<br /><br />I've just had a quick read of the other posts here (having been alerted to it by 'Mr Tulip' this morning). Finding them very interesting because of the overlap with my interests - and very well written too!Clare Dudmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197558842580794165noreply@blogger.com
