I have to say, I only disagree with KK in that Jeanius class in two or three spots, but the waistband is certainly one of them. I don't know if his iron can do magical things that mine can't but I don't like the waistband on the jeans I made with his method. The raglan tees are just perfect :)Ms. McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190263303526887994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-90864175333618515052014-03-28T22:26:26.750-04:002014-03-28T22:26:26.750-04:00"...if thou takest away, though must also giv..."...if thou takest away, though must also giveth lest thou dare exposeth one's buttcrack."

I'm completely out of optimism- I pre-washed a fun, summery geometric print earlier this week, then the weather went totally to shit. I just want to curl up in a corner until May!

Not looking forward to the cold but am looking forward to making a 60's inspired red wool shift dress! And some fine black cord slim trousers. And oh about 15 other things!

I could only wear a straight waistband right at my true waist.

I just used a new technique for a straight cut WB using a tutorial by Susan Khalje. Due to bulk, I ended up not using Petersham in mine, but I believe it does wonders for stabilization!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-78400215117029086892014-03-27T12:40:26.974-04:002014-03-27T12:40:26.974-04:00I just googled MAGAM and still have no idea....do ...I just googled MAGAM and still have no idea....do tell!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942455468832787000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-80694000191287195512014-03-27T12:38:12.539-04:002014-03-27T12:38:12.539-04:00Your pants are looking great and those are two lov...Your pants are looking great and those are two lovely tops.
