 Does the sleeve affect the general fit of the waist?

The next lesson that you take up is skirts. Here you will have more practice in working with a block pattern and copying different styles. You will find, too, that you can apply some of the blouse information to skirt, or in in fact, any garment. The adding of tucks and pleats is the same whether it is blouses, skirts or dresses on which you are working.

The principle of adding fullness, too, applies to all patterns.

If you have studied BLOUSES carefully and understand each step in the lesson you will find the lessons to come easy to understand and apply.
