Lesson 2 - Designing The Front Pattern Pieces

When you’re designing the tie detail, it’s a good idea to give yourself a little extra fabric, just in case. I’m working with my own measurements, and when you apply the formula to using your personal measurements, it might need some tweaking. If the tie section ends up too long, you can always trim it back.
