Sew Along Dress part 4 - Tracing is a Fine Art
Tracing a vintage pattern is not hard - it's the handling of the thin crepe that's hard! I used whatever I could find in the "junk" drawer to stabilize my pattern to the paper without ruining it. The vintage patterns are so much different than today's. Perforation holes to mark pattern pieces, gathers, tucks, measuring... at least the instructions are easy to figure out. :)
I have completed the tracing process and have cut out my paper pattern ... now I just need to take my measurements and I'm ready to pin pattern to fabric!
