Fabrics for J.



Here are three fabrics I bought to make blouses for my dearest friend J. I am still working on finishing her muslin so it may be a while before they are finished but I believe in doing it right, not doing it fast.

As far as her  muslin/sloper goes, I have finished the sleeve and the back to the point of first correction. I have yet to do the front and collar. After I am done cleaning up the lines on paper I will then cut it out onto lavender gingham, sew it up and try it out on her Betsy. Depending on how well it fits, I will either mail it to J and have her tell me what she thinks about the fit of the wearing ease, do some corrections, or just press ahead and start making garments from the sloper. I will post pictures of the process of draping the original muslin onto her duct tape dress form,a.k.a her Betsy in another post.
