I have sloping shoulders and a curve in my upper back and a I find that if I don't make adjustments then garments tend to drag backwards and end up throttling me. I started with a blouse pattern that was fitted to me - proper placement of bust dart, opening up the back centre seam to account for my upper back, changing the slope on the shoulders etc, and from that a I made a shell top (I used the free Sorbetto pattern by Collete) transferred my changes onto that, and from those two patterns I adjust all the tops that a I make. twotoasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432778966553987105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-21155803389100001162015-11-29T15:43:49.885-07:002015-11-29T15:43:49.885-07:00I think I am about your size and was wondering abo...I think I am about your size and was wondering about sizing on the Phoebe. My TG pattern goes to 16 and am usually a 22 in the big 4. Did you need to do much altering on the size of Phoebe tops?

All your creations look fabulous on you! I was interested to read your comment that you long for a bit more "structure" in some lagenlook designs - I hope you'll take a look at the pdf patterns I publish at boho-banjo-art-to-wear.myshopify.com. I have 2 more patterns to be published in the next month, one I recently blogged about - the Scarlett tunic and jacket and another that I haven't revealed yet. My blog is at www.pearlredmoon.com. Also please consider subscribing to my free newsletter for creative sewing ideas and free patterns<br /><br />It was so nice to read your post and see your fab garments this morning as last night my beloved garden was devastated by a hail storm with ice chunks as big as tennis balls...my trees have been denuded and the garden beds mulched...:( I'll have to lock myself in the studio with sewing machine for a few weeks until it recovers!<br /><br />happily in stitches<br />Pearl Moon, <br />Murrurundi, AustraliaPearl Red Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820622674301454183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-65499938899198462572015-08-09T18:56:48.603-06:002015-08-09T18:56:48.603-06:00Love all your tg clothes, and I also think your l...Love all your tg clothes, and I also think your label should go on outside.

I ordered paper patterns from TG's website 7 weeks ago, and they never arrived, so I don't have any makes to compare... It' is great to see that she has made the armscyes a reasonable size. If I do decide to make one of her designs in the future, I'll look for one of her newer patterns.splendidcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283564508244074073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-49982095114297238642015-08-04T01:03:57.225-06:002015-08-04T01:03:57.225-06:00Far from narcissistic, I think you should consider...Far from narcissistic, I think you should consider placing your labels on the outside of some of the garments; it's too interesting of a detail to hide.ParisGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808620060144089897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964455364460450296.post-88070342258800842502015-08-04T00:54:24.832-06:002015-08-04T00:54:24.832-06:00I love these patterns and have only just discovere...I love these patterns and have only just discovered them through your blog. The trousers do seem wide though and I wondered if you have made narrower ones and whether they work with the look or if the trousers in this picture are the only ones which balance the whole look? Such fab clothes and I love your colour choices.
