Can’t afford the fabric? Get yourself to a thrift store and find a curtain or tablecloth and use that

Absolutely! Thrift stores are treasure troves! You can often find beautiful curtains, tablecloths, or even bedsheets that make amazing fabric for sewing. And don’t forget to check the fabric bins—some secondhand shops also carry unused fabric at a fraction of the price!

Hi! If I intend to use the basic bodice size S, which size of the sleeve should I use as guide??? Also, if you don’t mind the question, where can I find you pattern’s size charts?
Thank you so much! I’ve been subscribed to your newsletter for some time now and this will be my first project involving hacking patterns 💕
