I need to sew crved edge to make "a puff sleeve. The pattern shows puff sleeve with elastic top??? "also the neck is illustrated with a seam for elastic casing??? Then attached the gown at the bottom to complete? Help, kreative lady
Help I have tried everything, it does not look right to me.
Kreativelady again.
ps. I have (3) pattern pieces for this peasant blouse. I have constructed the sleeves, and about to attach the "extra" curve from the sleeve.I have tried to fit it in the dress, but can't seem to understand the directions to add this piece... I attached the 2 pices in the arm area.
The pattern shows a seam on neck for eleastic, plus elastic is also added to the puff sleeve. This does not look right to me. Again I appreciate this help. kreativelady.
