i was wondering how to go about turning my straight skirt sloper into an a-line skirt

or slightly full skirt. thank you e-sewing for showing me how to make the skirt sloper

it's something i have always wanted to learn, and now i can.

i'm looking forward to now learning the bodice sloper, this website is the best.

as soon as i learn the bodice sloper then i can make the dress. i'm having a great

time learning and sewing.

i also like your knitting videos and was wondering if you crochet.

Re: Converting the Straight Skirt Block (sloper) into an A line

Hi Veronica,

I'm Happy to see how much the site has been of help to you.

We will release the video lesson on how to convert our straight skirt block (sloper) pattern into an A line skirt pattern in October 2009.

By releasing the video I will be able to explain things much better to our members.

Yes I do crochet. We are also planning to cover crochet in upcoming lessons.

Re: Sloper, apple shape

Hi bettym,

A sloper is the same as a block pattern, which is fitted to the body and does not have any seam allowances. It is used as a basis for all other styles.

What you can do is email me (from the link on the left) to communicate in more detail about your exact measurements, this way I can guide you towards making your own block patterns.

Watch the Bodice and skirt block pattern videos and measure your self the same way I teach in the video.

Thanks,

Nehzat
