Scroll down to books on CD and you will find it!<BR/>Also, Kenneth King has his own website - www.kennethdking.com - and sells books on there as well. I've taken 2 online classes from him (one of them the bustier class) and he is a great teacher. Lots of knowledge, lots of patience!Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-56713742674214808762008-08-05T03:23:00.000-07:002008-08-05T03:23:00.000-07:00I'm very interested in finding a copy of Kenne...I'm very interested in finding a copy of Kenneth King's book, "Birth of a Bustier". I live in Canada, & read your blog often; you're a brilliant sewer! I've searched Amazon & Chapters, but cannot find a copy. Any ideas where I'd best be able to buy one?

I've only sewn half of my summer wardrobe. <BR/><BR/>I totally understand comfortable footwear. I was shoe shopping Saturday, every pair that I tried hurt. Unfortunately, I came away with nothing.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on your contest entry.<BR/>CCennettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109335050044632749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-38174501488123824662008-08-03T18:11:00.000-07:002008-08-03T18:11:00.000-07:00Yes, your FBA should go through the bust point. S...Yes, your FBA should go through the bust point. So wherever that ends up being, that's where you draw the line to split the bodice. The grainline runs parallel to the center front, so keep the same line that is below the bust point, and draw it up to the top of your pattern. Hope that helps :-)Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-76042728879724173552008-08-03T16:44:00.000-07:002008-08-03T16:44:00.000-07:00I was hoping you could answer a couple of question...I was hoping you could answer a couple of questions relating to the Simp. princess-seam blouse of last week. 1. if you usually lower the bust apex, would you start the fba lower than 1" below the armscye?, and 2. once the fba is done how do you set the straight-grain arrow?
