Their instructions do assume a lot of experience, I think. "Neaten edges" leaves the technique up to you -- so you can serge, zigzag or bind your seams, or as I nearly always do, pink them. You do have to watch the seam allowances though, as they are more individual to the pattern. Not the standardized 5/8" but more of what I understand is an industry standard of narrower seams.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-53903324251203373362020-05-13T09:18:25.470-04:002020-05-13T09:18:25.470-04:00Love, love, love this dress!

It is perfect on you in every way: cut/fit, fabric, color with your coloring, and the smile on your face of course!<br />I have to say I'm frightened by the only style Arc pattern I own: the Sadie blouse. (Couldn't pass it up, since we had a cleaning lady named Sadie when the song became super popular in the late 60s? She taught me how to properly iron a shirt as she was sure it was a skill I'd need in my life...right she was!) Now to why I'm scared of Style Arc patterns. What does "neaten edges" in the directions mean? And 3/8" seams and 1/4" "internal seams allowed. E.g. Neck". Say what?<br />Can you fill me in? I really like lots of their patterns, but...<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Melody (Lodi)Lodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777295136016723298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-69880422559376131122020-05-10T23:32:05.200-04:002020-05-10T23:32:05.200-04:00Thank you Laura!!

Just practice, I think -- and the fact that I just love fabric so much and think about it all the time ;) Also, I haven't shared some of my daring experiments that have not worked because of unsuccessful fabric choice...Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-11003939278445930782020-05-08T15:36:06.481-04:002020-05-08T15:36:06.481-04:00Love, love this Melanie.

...Love, love this Melanie. Another win in my books.<br /> I am always envious of the way you pair pattern to fabric or vice versa. Something that I wish I was good at. Laura.<br />Laura B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13837199786290566769noreply@blogger.com
