tip of the day - keeping track of pattern alterations
I like to alter patterns quite a bit - but I don’t always remake the tissue pattern pieces. Sometimes I just use the pattern as a starting point and cut the fabric differently (ei: I have a proportionally long waist and need to add 2″ or so to shirt patterns).
But what happens if you forget how you altered the pattern?
Next time you’re re-working a pattern, write the changes you’ve made onto the tissue itself or onto the pattern directions. You’ll always be able to remember what changes you’ve made then!

This is something that I realize would be of great assistance. I usually will make notation on the pattern or envelope. Then I thought it was a great idea to make the notation in a notebook. which kind of double as scrapnote of my finish projects. However if you cannot find the notebook when you make the dress again.
Your idea is best! Thanks
