Great idea to use colour blocking and the silk sounds lovely!<br />I have a curved ruler (although I bought it at a stationary store and it was a lot cheaper than those "special" sewing ones) but I hardly ever use it. If you're confident that you can draw a curve by hand, I don't think it's a must.Alessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605755512224178329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810172271174945297.post-83156623746249085882014-04-17T00:32:49.203-07:002014-04-17T00:32:49.203-07:00Stupid spellcheck!

I too have found to my cost that side splits and French seams don't work!! :)<br /><br />I have a French curve, and I do use it a lot. I think primarily it's designed for pattern drafting, and I'm convinced that I use it incorrectly, however I do use it. It's helpful for redrawing necklines (or any curves, really), as you've suggested, but mostly it's just a useful curved ruler for tracing patterns. My freehand is very wonky and is not to be trusted! Even when tracing. I'm. to convinced it's *necessary* but I do find it useful.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525020848581000170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810172271174945297.post-31816569935626900542014-04-15T14:53:11.100-07:002014-04-15T14:53:11.100-07:00This is a very nice top, I love the color combo :)...This is a very nice top, I love the color combo :)PinhousePlaymatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116223260537085062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810172271174945297.post-21723515319291262932014-04-15T02:35:45.148-07:002014-04-15T02:35:45.148-07:00I'll send you thru a pic!I'll send you thru a pic!Fabric Tragichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183274071484362265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810172271174945297.post-45160096867745812042014-04-15T02:04:49.856-07:002014-04-15T02:04:49.856-07:00Oh, thanks - that'd be great!

I've just finished my first proper silk project too, and just want to wear it all the time. I've got a kind of french curve that I think I got at spotty. It's clear plastic, with one end a rectangle, the other end curved. It has grid markings, plus inches and centimetres marked on it, plus button hole markings to help with spacing. I use it a lot - I do think the curve is quite helpful. I'd wait until spotty has a sale or does their 40% off vouchers and grab one. I can email you a pic if you like?
