Do you have lots of commercial patterns that you bought because a certain element caught your eye? Now you have a master pattern and you want to incorporate that certain element. How do you start? Certainly with center front or center back. Then the shoulder. But wait – you actually start with the waistline to shoulder point. Then you adjust the shoulder line. Necklines are certainly deceiving since paper patterns raise or lower them. I have made several successful attempts, but am on a quest to learn more. What has worked for you?
