At the time, I was too new to really understand and effectively used my block, but it taught me some good drafting skills.

Can't wait to see it in your wax cloth.<br /><br /><br />Oh, and I totally write on my muslins all the time. Definitely helps to see where and how much things need to be taken it, let out, raised or lowered. Much easier to mark it with a sharpie then measure and transfer to the pattern than it is to try and pin things and remember what they all meant when you take it off.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-62663406936059941312013-08-28T16:24:33.563-04:002013-08-28T16:24:33.563-04:00High five....
