But there is. And, dare I say, it's SO obvious (now that I know about it, of course) and much easier than the way I showed you guys earlier. Well, at least I think it's easier. But that could be because I've done it my way 3 times this week and I'm tired of it.
After a few emails where she very kindly showed me how she does it (and I felt a bit like James Bond being entrusted with the secrets of a nation), she volunteered to do a tutorial. So, you lucky readers you, go check it out. Tell her "thanks" from me.

note: This tutorial works for bodices that are "open" in the back. For bodices that are "closed" like the one below, you have to do it the way I explained in this tutorial. (by "closed", I mean the opening in the back doesn't extend all the way down to the waist seam.)
Her patterns are great! Hilarious blog stories as well =)
ReplyDeleteVery nice tutorials, both of you! I've read through both and realize that the difference in your techniques is based on the kind of bodice you're each working with. If you have an opening up the center back or center front, Amanda's method works very nicely and easily. However, if you have a bodice with no opening up the center back or front, then your method, Adrianna, is a must. Now there are tutorials to fit both kinds of bodices. Thanks!

Hey Missy!!
ReplyDeleteI think I figured out a way to make a bodice that is fully closed. Without a zipper or a button. I have to give it another try and probably make a tutorial for it.
