free sewing day

[robinsnest]

We apparently are in the midst of a hurricaine and that means school is closed for both today and tomorrow...woohoo unexpected sewing days! I'm trying to decide how to pattern this dress...do I
a) attempt to blow up the one in PoF and get the style i want but it probably won't fit well and that will be frustrating and disappointing (yes I'll use a muslin but sometimes when it's not right I just can't GET it right on myself) or
b) use the simplicity one that I know will fit but isn't the exact style I had in mind which will be frustrating and disappointing..and back closing.

blargh. I don't have printer ink so I'd have to hand draft up the PoF which isn't hard just boring.

Hrm...can you Frankenstein the two together? Use the sleeves and whatever from the one you know fits and then use the POF pattern for the parts you want changed.

I'm not sure how you want it to close, but can you fiddle with the two, just draft up the front and use the simplicity side and back, making the back one piece?
