Let me say that the economy is impacting my job and this week most all of my time has been spent on budget revisions and potential department restructuring. I have spent most of my past three days in meetings from 8 to noon, a small break for lunch which has consisted of pretzels, water or coke. Not a very healthy diet.
DH and I had a nice dinner last night and then when we got home. I took a small sewing break to work on my jacket. I basted the side seams and then tried it on. I still have the bottom front swinging out at the bottom. Not sure if this is because of the FBA I made which was necessary but created more bias at the upper side front. Not sure how that would impact the bottom. It is not a huge swinging out but I notice it. Others may not. I also may need to trim some of the shoulder length. It was nice just to spend time thinking about fitting and not about budgets!

Hmm, I haven't begun sewing in my fashion fabric yet, so I can't say for sure if I too have this swinging out. My muslin didn't, but then again I also cut my pattern a size smaller than I usually do. So that might have helped to eliminate the swing-out problem. Will keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the jacket!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm kind of laughing... I swear I read this blog, but I just nominated you for the same award you had in the last post! I guess I overlooked that particular post when flipping through my most frequently-read blogs to see who's been inspiring me lately that didn't have it yet. So don't feel like you need to come up with 7 more people or anything, but wanted to let you know.
