My First Muslin

Hello. I have blog in a while. Life has been busy, but I am working on my first BWOF. It 4/200-116. Because this is the first time I have every worked with these patterns, I have made my first muslin. It is really worth the effort. I am almost finish making the muslin and already can see the adjustment I need. I am smaller on top and wider on the bottom. I need to take in the neckline area and bust area and so far look like I will need to add to the hip area. I am glad that I am taking the time to make a muslin before I cut into the pretty jersey that I have for this dress. Wish me luck.
Until next time.

Project update

Just an update on McCalls 5471. I have pre-shrunk the Japanese shirting by washing and drying the fabric three times. Then ironed to remove any wrinkles. Next fitting the pattern. I do believe I will try to learn how to do a muslin. This will be my first. I always thought muslins were extra work. Bye for now!
