#pattern copying

So back in 2005, when I was young and dumb and knew NOTHING about pattern drafting, alteration, or much of anything, I would make these stupid decisions.

Like throw away a pattern piece. That was pretty typical of me. But tonight I discovered a new, brilliant piece of idiocy.

I tore the strap off a bodice.

I don't know why. Or where the strap is. But I DO know how to pull out my fancy ruler with the round bits and redraft a new one. I have managed to pull it off, and it looks right, measures correctly, and I'm happy with it.
