Been blog housekeeping--went back through & re-posted pictures so as to get rid of those red Xs. Got the past coupla months done; will finish the rest v. soon.
Also been working on the bodice sloper. This to me is not a particularly pleasant task. I'm trying to have a good attitude about it. It's actually looking pretty good at this point and I hope that this exercise will eliminate alot of fitting issues on future projects.
I tried to take pictures of the Unique pants to show the forward side seam, but working by myself was futile. I didn't get any that clearly showed the seam problem but in the pics I did get I was surprised to see some more fitting issues--my high left hip and what looked like mild 'smiles' is really quite a bit of bagginess at the back of the thighs. They still fit better than any RTW, but I want to get this pair just perfect. I'm gonna let Unique handle it though. I'll send 'em the pics & measurements, they can re-draft the pattern.
I'm so wanting to make something that fits and looks good before I get into the baby clothes. I'm going to make my Unique jacket since I know it fits and I've got the material & lining washed & ready. This will be about the 4th time I've made this jacket, counting toiles, so it should go together fairly quickly.
