Thanks so much for showing your fitting issues, how to figure out what to try for the drag lines on your muslin and how to transfer them to the pattern pieces! Especially the round back, and how you can just ignore the curvy part on the fold. I have this pattern and had the same issues as you. It was such a struggle trying to get something wearable that I gave it to my daughter, who wasn’t sick to death of looking at it. It’s been a couple of years now and I actually pulled the pattern out the other day. So lucky to find you days before attempt 2. Yours looks great, so fingers crossed I’ll have better luck this time! I’m not kidding here. Your other video for the Lyric dress is actually on my table now. We must be sewing soulmates. ❤❤. There’s just so much to learn about fitting, right? Your style of teaching is perfect for me, just perfect. Have fun on your trip and I’ll be waiting for your next make.
Your feedback is SO important to me, in knowing if what I include is useful to viewers or not. I'm SO glad that what I included is information that you needed!!! What a coincidence that we both are interested in making the same dresses...WOW! Both are cute dresses, each with its own benefits. Thank you for your very kind words, and the time you took to leave a comment for me. I hope you keep watching and are subscribed. Please let me know how your Chair dress turns out! (if hindsight is worth anything, for my dress, I probably wouldn't have been so aggressive with my shoulder angle, I think I took 1/2", but would probably back it down to more like 1/4". I find that it rides rather tightly at the edge of my shoulder and wants to slide up) ;)
What a fun dress! The rounded shoulder trick was the trick! Lol! I found where I had been making my mistake with my rounded shoulder adjustment and the arm holes. I have made notes and saved the video so when I have a senior moment, I can come back to this! Thank you! Have a wonderful trip!!
I appreciate you taking the time to comment and letting me know how this helped you. A big smile on my face knowing something in this video was helpful 😁 ❤️
I bought this pattern a few years ago and haven’t sewn it up yet. I’m motivated to get on with it! I think Kennis does an amazing job with her pattern drafting. I really appreciate how you took us through the muslin fitting adjustments and how to translate that to the pattern. I do have a full length mirror but can’t see my back so that’s annoying. I’ll have to get more creative with my phone camera. 😊
Yes, Kennis has got some really great patterns, and others I have done up with no changes. Using your phone to see your back is a great idea… and also maybe a handheld mirror. Thank you for your feedback on taking pattern changes to the pattern itself. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just extraneous information, but it seems that it’s useful to others also. Thank you for leaving a comment and watching ❤️
