One of the challenges is that the markings seem a bit off in some instances - all the more so now that I've made substantive adjustments in, say, the bust. So I'm now creating my own markings - harder to do than it sounds :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-87712221084180572372012-04-07T10:06:56.918-04:002012-04-07T10:06:56.918-04:00Thanks Katy - I keep telling myself this :-)Thanks Katy - I keep telling myself this :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-56421541512657847102012-04-06T19:12:52.807-04:002012-04-06T19:12:52.807-04:00What you described with your jacket so reminds me ...What you described with your jacket so reminds me of my Lady Grey experience. I know I over thought and over everything else with that jacket. Stressed me out real bad. I've often wished that I had just gone ahead and made that thing up right out of the package, or at lease after my fist muslin. Nice story about your Aunt. She left a positive and lasting impression on you.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-53567908774008711522012-04-06T15:06:14.201-04:002012-04-06T15:06:14.201-04:00And also a desire to sew as well I think!

One thing I suggest for getting back on track is picking apart muslin 5 and compare it to the orginal pattern pieces. Just lay each muslin piece on top of the paper pattern piece and see where you can trace off a new pattern based on the measurements you know you have right at this stage (such as your waist size, back waist length and bust point, all of which look to me as being pretty close to being ideal) and then don't do any adjusments in the upper back trace of the pattern as is. Make up another muslin and attach the sleeves. Then take a deep breath and see how the fit works. I bet you will see that you are 70% there. It's not easy to make so many adjusments all at once, I think you're doing great job.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-30727286193981855502012-04-06T10:33:18.672-04:002012-04-06T10:33:18.672-04:00A lovely story - it's great that her memory is...A lovely story - it's great that her memory is driving you forward on this project. I think even I would have given up by now (who has only abandoned one project) but I know you can do it!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652602198760195318noreply@blogger.com
