First Muslin Cut

There was no more sewing time last week after Matilda had her retrofitting, much to my chagrin.  And my frustration at my lack of sewing times continues...

But I did get a couple of hours to work on my jacket today and I got the entire laid out and marked and cut out of muslin so I can begin the process of fitting.

I had hoped to start sewing today as well, but I ended up with a little less time than I had hoped but I hope I can get the first draft assembled and checked on Matilda tomorrow.

   

I really couldn't wrap my head around the flat pattern adjustments because there have been so many changes in the intervening years since I last did this, and I realized the only thing to do was work from a muslin.  Besides I am really itching to just be working on something....

I would really like to get the muslin completely fitted and finished this week so that I can cut the actual garment as soon as we return from Knoxville.  Oh yeah, we are leaving on the 10th, which doesn't leave me much time.

Considering that this is Wednesday, and I feel like I have no idea what I am doing, this might be a completely unrealistic goal.  On the other hand, I am hoping that once I get to work things will come back to me, so far results have been promising.
