Stitcher's Guild Reloaded

Worked on fitting the pants this weekend. I've decided to use the Palmer-Pletsch tissue fitting method, and am bravely re-drawing the crotch seam on the pants. I still have one more tweak to go on that, then I may actually be ready to make the first actual muslin. I'll see if I can convince DD to take a few pictures.

Thanks for the encouragement, Lisanne! I am absolutely loving being able to sew again. Hopefully if I can keep up the momentum I will be able to finish or nearly finish!

Well Done Stephanie for making so much progress under difficult circumstances   

Blue shirt done!



Another shirt started! (All but the collar and hems done at this point.) Fabric:



Pattern (Cartamodelli magazine):



I'm planning to make another version of the same blouse (short-sleeves) in red silk.

Momentum! I love it. I may not be able to walk fast, but I am pretty quick with an iron.

Still going very slowly, but it's nearly Easter break so I'll be able to zoom on then.
#5, McCall's 6436 shirt in skull print chambray.  Easy, comfortable and fun. Like me!

Love that pants pattern, Wendy. Those will look great on you! I am looking forward to seeing them made up.

There has been an awful lot going on around my house, none of it SWAP related, unfortunately.  I still have a viable plan in place to finish. I have over a week away from work, I'll be traveling for some of it, but if I am smart I can really get some things accomplished.  I plan to make up a Burda pants pattern https://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/cropped-wide-trousers-052017 next, I have the pattern printed already. I'll just have to get over the worry about fitting and get going on it.

Mary: I have just started checking back here and just noticed your kind comment! I love red and blue and so I am enjoying the sewing very much. I even splurged on some red silk for myself today.

Edited to add that I just looked at your thread and saw the wonderful blue fabrics you are considering for your simplified skirts. Lovely!

Morzel - style need not be at all age related

Thanks! I do love blue.

I love your design thinking and the styling of the jacket is great. Similarly, I completed my blue blouse last night and although I wanted drop shoulder it may be slightly too much. I quite like it, but the next time I'll likely adapt a bit.

I look forward to catching up on everyone's SWAPs over the weekend.
