  • Vogue 9197- The Corrected Muslin

    September 30, 2018 / 11 Comments

    Hi!  I just want to share the original corrected muslin of Vogue 9197.  I probably should have shared this before the princess seamed version (eye roll) but it’s OK, better late then never.  Actually, I noticed I only showed pictures of the issues and never the full dress.  In this post, I talked about the issues I had when trying to get this fit on the this version (side dart).  Like the princess seamed version, the bodice is a little short but good for the dress. I believe the fit is very good and the adjustments made are in this post.  The only difference between the other versions of this…

    You can tell in the picture the waist seam is too high Soo, I started working on my bodice block and I think I got it perfected, or at least very close.  I’ve made V9197 before and you can read about the original review here.  I was sort of new to fit and made these adjustments to the original.  I think I’m ready to trace my block/slopers (side dart and princess seam) onto oak tag for future use. I converted the bodice to a princess seam and I really like it.  The boss was like “ohh that’s nice and you have a bulls eye on your skirt?”  Well, damn, pattern…

  • What I’ve been up to, Tweaking A Basic Bodice And More Slopers

    September 16, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Hi!! Have you missed me?  Well, I’ve been here, I’ve done a few things over the last month, I’ll share a little and then I’ll go into what I’m working on now.  Since my skirt sloper class, I discovered something, I don’t hate true muslins (LOL) and I haven’t made as many “wearable muslins” as I have in the past.  Here’s the issue,  I do not like to take out seams and fix issues (insert triple eye roll) so I have to remind myself that true muslins are really practice so I don’t mind fixing them.  I have to stop being lazy and take out the seams and fix things,…
