Sizing Woes and Vintage Balaclavas // Casual Friday S6E38
In this week's podcast I explore vintage balaclava patterns, and I have three finished projects. I'll talk about modifications I made, as well as how I solved some problems (and made some mistakes). One of the projects had some strange sizing issues, so I will also talk a bit about sizing and sizing standards.
