Thanks! I’ve been pitching away at this. I’m going to master it! I’m using Nancy Zieman’s Pattern Fitting with Confidence as my in hand resource. I’m on test run number 3 for a top. Sheets from the Goodwill ROCK as trial fabric. In any event, I’ve discovered that if I followed my high bust measurement, the neck opening is still too gappy. I keep cutting the smaller size pattern and adding the width where I need it in the abdomen and bust. The pattern I’m working with has an attached cap sleeve. I’m still wrapping my brain around how to get the sleeve opening wide enough, since there isn’t a separate sleeve pattern piece. Thanks for all your great videos. They keep me motivated!
