Thank you for showing these things on actual pattern pieces. It helps so much to have a visual.
ReplyDeleteI need to get better about tissue fitting and making muslins. Sometimes I still sew like I did when I was 16—fast and furious!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad u showed pattern fitting. I tried doing that but for some reason my garments come out way to big still. I can't wait to see the final products
ReplyDeleteHow on GGE do you do that without making a mess of your pattern tissue?
ReplyDeleteKudos to you.
Cennetta .- Me too I love to buy at the remains of rooms ..... uff. I become crazy .... Yesterday I went to a store where everything settled and bought some beautiful silks, can not resist, is like a drug. It's my house full of fabrics. I love his new project, the jacket is very simple but elegant. Best wishes, Paco
ReplyDeleteLindsay - I wish I could be fast and furious, but my body won't let me. lol I have to almost always pattern fit or make a muslin for upper body garments.
ReplyDeleteMarji - I'm very, very careful with pin and pattern. I patiently sit at the table to make the changes. The pictures are so helpful too.
Paco - I don't know what I would do if Vogue didn't have a remnant room. lol
I like seeing the visual also. When you fit the back on yourself do you always have someone take a picture and then evaluate? I can't imagine any other way, but I know some people are good with 2 mirrors.
ReplyDeleteHi Cennetta! I love checking out your pattern alterations because they are so similar to what I do. Just one question here. The alteration on the back yoke was for--broad back?

ReplyDeleteClaire -Recently, I've been taking photos. It's so helpful. Before that, it was trail and error.
ReplyDeleteKat - Yes, the alteration of the yoke is to accommodate broad shoulders. I also have prominent shoulder blades. So this alteration will give me a little more room. I've noticed with yoke backs its a little snug across my shoulder blades without any alteration.
Thank you,Cennetta.This is just what I need.I'm embarking on the fitting journey and you are a huge motivating force.
ReplyDeleteI have never tissue fitted, I always construct muslins. It's nice to see how it'a actually done! Thank you!
