    Those of you who have a full bust (C or D cup rather than B cup) know the frustration of sewing patterns and finding the finished garment to be too large in the neck, shoulder, and armhole area. Rather than choosing the size to accommodate your full bust, this is what you should be doing to get a better fit….

    Have you bought Amy Karol’s (aka angry chicken) fabulous book Bend the Rules Sewing? She has a wonderful flickr group for projects from the book and there are already 533 inspiring project photos listed! The accompanying discussion group includes a list of errata to the book. Be sure to print out the changes and slip them in your copy! I’ve got a library copy until I can afford the real thing, and I’m sending it back with the errata included.
