Using measurements, a pattern is developed....
The pattern is tested on scrap fabrics...
"Tweaked" when needed...
And then "The Real McCoy" is cut and sewn!
So, in the past week, I have completed piecing the bodice, and now have good sleeve patterns. Before I am able to cut the little windows of the puffed portion, I still have some test runs to do. All in all, I feel good about the progress. I'm in the throws of the most time-consuming portion, and almost done with that! YEA!!
