These are the first of many garment photos made using cj patterns and fabrics. Check in often as I am making more garments using the Fall/Holiday 2003 CLOTHESLINE fabrics and fabrics that are still available from past collections. Many of these photos are of the new patterns that are being printed right now and will be available in a few weeks. Any changes I made to the pattern or tips on working with the fabric will be included.
As you can see the dressform I used has a Victorian body, I chose this because I wanted the clothes to stand on their own without showing a particular body type. In the future I will also have photos on "real" people so keep checking! I encourage you to send in your photos and tips and you will receive the pattern of your choice as a thank you!
Feel free to e mail me with ideas, comments and questions.
