I purchased Design-it-Yourself-Clothes and quickly whipped up a few skirts. Then a month later I became pregnant with my second child and was disappointed that I would be back into my maternity clothes. Not long after I realized my error and started drafting again. I love this book!!! Thank you Cal Patch!!

Making a new copy of a vintage 80's item for a customer, while constructing its pattern without any other tools than a pen and a tape measure. (I have just started to even make my customer's patterns all freehand - not using pins, rulers or construction manuals. And for trueing lines, I use a simple folding technique instead. Much quicker and with more fluid lines. Less is more!)

I really, really don't want any fit problems with this pair of jeans (which are self-drafted), so I took the extra tedious step of stay-stitching all around every piece that had any curve to it. I recently made my first pair of pants and they ended up too big even though the pattern was drafted specifically to fit my figure — all because the fabric stretched as I sewed. Do your jeans patterns suggest taking this step? My teacher gives us no instructions on sewing the garments we draft for our patternmaking class, so I'm always figuring it out as I go.
