Many decades ago a dear friend said that she wears dresses she loves - and I said I could make her one or two. Without knowing what I was doing, and just knowing how to sew and having make a few matching mother-daughter dresses when my child was young ... I took one of Phyllis's favs and made a pattern from newspaper. When finished, she absolutely loved her new dress! Then I got older and more scared of doing something wrong. So, I stopped sewing. Now, with your video, I'm psyched to give a try to something for myself - before it falls apart and gives me no chance of a pattern. Thank you!!

I learned to sew when I was around 12 from my Nana. Back them patterns were a luxery so I would go to yard sales with my allowance and buy one or two items I liked and take them apart and used newspaper or any kind of paper I could get to make patterns out of. I made many dresses, skirts and even shorts for my sister's and I. I obtained my fabric by handing out fliers I made offering to take their old clothes, sheets and even curtains at times ty for your videos and fresh ideas.

I've only been able to find it on a roll & purchased at fabric stores that specialize in apparel/designer fabrics. I've never seen it at the larger chain stores like JoAnn's. You can buy it online. google "fashion patterns by coni pattern paper" and you can purchase 3 yards for about $4. Or if you know of a fashion/design school near you, you might be able to inquire as to where students purchase it. All else fails, go to art supply store & u can usually get a roll of paper that will work

You are right that not all knits are the same. I would just try hard to pick out fabric that has the same amount of stretchiness as the original. What I would do is mark (with chalk or fabric marker) on the original top 2 lines that are 4 inches apart. Hold one line and then stretch the other line. Measure the new distance. So maybe at rest it's 4" but when stretched it becomes 8". Cut a slip of paper that's 8" but mark the 4" mark and then take this with you when you go shopping.

It's called alphanumeric pattern paper. If a fabric store near you doesn't carry it (I've never seen it at JoAnn's but have found it at fabric stores that specialize in apparel fabric) you can get it online. Google "fashion patterns by coni pattern paper" and you can get a 3 yard piece for about $4.

I can draft pattern blocks but it can be more convenient to adapt & utilse an existing well fitted piece in some situations. You can use the plain side of spare or discounted stiff wallpaper as a cheaper alternative to unmarked pattern paper... you should ensure your garment is well pressed before you pin it & you should also notch your seams..
