Muslin Day

Last weekend I spent cutting and thread tracing muslins for my next three projects. Usually I try to avoid to work on several projects in parallel, but I thought it might be more efficient to handle the big rol of muslin only once. I cut muslins for the Marfy free pattern jacket for the sew-along with Leisa from A challenging sew, Marfy 3414 and Vogue 8766 for the craftsy course “sew the perfect fit”.

Once I finished thread tracing the Marfy dress, I could not resist and pinned it together on my dress form.

Do you see how lovely it looks already, even on a rainy day and the pleats on the skirt pinned in the wrong direction? I can’t wait to start with this one, although I think it will need lots of alterations in the bust area to fit me. But first, the Marfy jacket is waiting.
