Sunday morning was spent on changing the pattern for the Vogue jacket, and Sunday evening I spent about an hour making the second muslin. This is the result, I'm quite satisfied. It's worth the extra muslin.
What I did was:
- narrow the shoulders
- fba (I'll show pictures how I did that later)
- widened the hip area
- made the lines in the waist area in a better fitting curve than I had drawn with lenghtening the pattern
Sorry about the front picture, the neckline is a bit uneven, but these were made with a selftimer.
The waist can not be too explicit, because then my hips have too much accent to my liking, so there is quite a bit of space in the waist area, but the lines are better now.
The only thing to change now (I think) is to make the hip a bit less wide on the side panel, but that's quickly changed on the pattern.
On the sleeve I made a mistake, and took a line for the hem line, but it wasn't. Now it looks too short, but actually I must take out the extra length I added in the pattern.
The collar has separate pattern parts for under and upper collar, and there's also an extra collar band. That promises to be a smooth laying collar.
I wish that I had your talent. The finished jacket is sure to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI knew that it would be easy for you to get this to fit perfectly. It's going to be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow, nice progress! I am happy we get to watch you sew a Vogue jacket.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, this is progress! Much better. I love how you made it match your body shape, yet skim the body shape rather than being tight enough to emphasize certain features.
