Changing shirt pattern so it has tie up front?
LDT2011 Advanced Beginner UNITED KINGDOM Member since 11/18/11 Posts: 451	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/7/12 5:47 AM I was wondering if its easy to take a shirt pattern and alter it so it ties up at the front rather than buttons up? Do I just change the front so they are triangular rather than straight? ------ 'The purpose of most fashion is to be ostentatiously non-functional.'

There will be some play with darts though, depending on the position of the tie knot. ------ www.thesewingspace.com
