Today I’m demonstrating how I changed the neckline from a scoop to a V and also how I added a full lining. The York Pinafore is rated for beginners but I would classify the lining method I’m demonstrating as an intermediate skill level. None To begin, follow pattern instructions…add pockets (or pouch), stay stitch and sew main garment front and back pieces together at shoulder seams. To sew the other armhole, lay your garment flat on work surface with main fabric right side up, unfinished edge of armhole at the top.

the included FBA instructions didn’t work well for me and I ended up fitting the pattern based on my upper bust measurement, not my full bust measurement. I based my garment size on my upper bust measurement {typical}, keeping in mind that my usual FBA adjustment is to add 2″ in total. In order for my front and back pattern pieces to match at the shoulder, I added 1″ to the pattern back piece as well. It isn’t necessary, but I chose to carve out my neckline at the shoulder seam by about 1″ on both front and back pattern pieces.

Hi ya…today I’m documenting my #2019makenine sewing goals. But first… Notice of a blog publishing/delivery change and why

I pulled fabric and pattern out time and time again. The pairing of fabric and pattern may not have worked, but it was this disparity that pushed me to clarify what I really want in a handmade coat. Anyhoo, one of this year’s successful lingerie sets is pictured above, sewn up in Art Gallery Rosebuds fabric. The underwear is a slightly modified Sophie swimsuit and the bra pattern is Make Bra Dl01.
