This week, I realized that I needed to proceed with caution and not waste any more precious fabric. I was still committed to making the jacket, Burda 2/2011 108a, but I needed to make even more adjustments to the pattern that I sized up to fit me. The largest size for this pattern is 14 and I needed 18. I was able to get that larger adjustment correct but the jacket was too short. Since, I am also tall as well, I realized another adjustment to my pattern was needed. I added 1.5 inches, but to make sure the fit was right, I made a trial run with muslin to make sure I had the fit correct this time.
So after doing my homework well, I decided I was ready to start the real jacket with the fashion fabric. Success!!
muslin -
Muslin is a light cotton fabric, finely woven and typically white. It is often used to make a test garment before sewing with expensive fabric.
