Using Sewing Templates with your Crochet

Using sewing patterns as a template for your crochet opens up some new possibilities. I've written about this at BellaOnline. Taking a look at sewing patterns can be quite useful when you are starting to design crochet garments as it gives an insight into garment construction, for instance sewing patterns demonstrate clearly the use of darts and other shaping techniques.

After reading that a well shaped top can take pounds off you - I am now committed even more to making fitted and shaped garments. Lily Chin's latest book - Crochet Couture Workshop covers the fitting of garments in lots of detail. I reviewed the book here.
