Maybe this spring will be my chance. I mean, a pants sloper, how amazing would that be? I haven't made pants in over 15 years! Thanks for the reminder.lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-16623378626723511692011-11-16T13:30:07.645-05:002011-11-16T13:30:07.645-05:00I too have the Tanous book .Good instructions, but...I too have the Tanous book .Good instructions, but limited styles. I really recommend taking the Pattern Drafting class at the Visual Art Center. You will finish the class with a bodice and pants sloper drafted from your measurements and fitted by a professional (the teacher) that you can compare to any commercial pattern or use to draft your own patterns. The fitting is important. A sloper drafted from your measurement will still need tweaks to fit well. I took a similar class at G Street fabrics, but the ladies in the Richmond sewing guild that took the VAC class raved about it. One modeled pants she made using the sloper at the meeting this past Sat. and they looked fantastic.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-43732518746093913122011-11-16T12:07:48.244-05:002011-11-16T12:07:48.244-05:00Isn't it a great book?!Isn't it a great book?!lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-42441192125061987682011-11-16T10:40:26.935-05:002011-11-16T10:40:26.935-05:00Glad your much wanted books have arrived to you.
