Set them on the back and front, cutting and stitching lines aligned with the bodice armholes. Keeping the grainlines parallel, slide the facing patterns up the bodice patterns the distance you think you need the armhole raised (an inch usually does it for me), and draw in the new cutting line where the facing cutting line now sits. Draw the side cutting line from the new armscye line down to the original; this will keep the side seam from flaring out under the arm, as it might if you drew upwards from the original side seam/cutting line. Draw a new armhole facing by tracing off the new bodice armhole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-70369621420022611812013-07-09T08:55:17.281-04:002013-07-09T08:55:17.281-04:00So cute!

I am going into High School, and so I have been thinking of college a lot, and I heard that if you get a blog really popular, you can make money by putting ads on the blog. I know ads won't by my way to college, but every scent counts. My blog is thecozycloud.blogspot.com and I would love it if you could maybe tell some of your friends about it.<br /><br />Thanks so much,<br />IzzeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-20671047009720383082013-07-06T20:33:20.977-04:002013-07-06T20:33:20.977-04:00Dear Gertie,
