However, I think you're right to go with the CS pattern - especially since the one you've chosen is similar to the KL design. <br />Pick your fabric carefully - I had a wool twill that was a nightmare - too hard to shape with hand stitches for a similar couture tailoring class. <br />But as someone said before make sure you love it. I tell my own students this as well, 5/6 weeks is long time to work on something you aren't really excited about. By the time you are finished you might hate it, which would be a shame after all the work.<br />Good luck and keep us all posted.Jodie K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-35699954727736908942009-04-25T09:31:00.000-08:002009-04-25T09:31:00.000-08:00ETA Sorry, I meant the navy stretch jacket at the ...ETA Sorry, I meant the navy stretch jacket at the end.meredithphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683287411020125224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-76539220680743507782009-04-25T09:29:00.000-08:002009-04-25T09:29:00.000-08:00Hopefully, you won't have to remind the teacher mo...Hopefully, you won't have to remind the teacher more than once that the purpose is to learn couture techniques, etc. I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it. I've been in classes where someone was an "outlyer" and it was a miserable experience for the rest of us too.

That said, as a teacher, I know that if she is building the class around those patterns, and someone comes in with a completely different pattern that doesn't match up to what she's teaching, it can be a nightmare. I dealt with that situation once and the student who was "the rebel" ended up disrupting the class. So I guess I'd suggest picking one of the CS patterns that you like (that Karl Lagerfeld clone is pretty good) and making it up with a spectacular fabric.Gorgeous Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105281854898289918noreply@blogger.com
