Meet Dolly

This is Dolly, my basic block. She has evolved over many years to reflect and record the key measurements and suppression needed to cut flat patterns. Of course working on the stand is an option, but I don't always have one to hand, and even if there is one it may vary from my needs. But Dolly I know very well. She is not 'off the peg' but has been created by me, amended by me over the years and tried and tested on thousands of patterns. I could replace my shears, but not Dolly.
