Grumbler in Training
This design was vey challenging as there was an arch involved at the top, and the flowing fabric at the bottom. To cut a rectangular opening would have exposed too much of the base fabric, and too many of the threads. I resolved it by cutting an arch using an oval cutter, and then a straight cutter. To create an opening around the bottom of the gown I used a series of small oval and circular openings.
