Tracing of the dart to my pattern piece.
Now I think I can happily move onto the embroidery!

It's good to have friends...
I was whining about my issues with the vest on Facebook with Claire Kennedy and she came up with the perfect solution for this vest. She suggested a waist dart. Slap me on the forehead! LOL. It's a great solution and doesn't destroy the lines of the garment while giving it a gentle shaping. Wow. I'm going to be so much happier with it now. You just establish your bustpoint and a couple of inches down draw in a dart stopping just shy of the seamline. Here are pics showing the change to the pattern and then the change in the muslin.

How utterly simple in its solution - and how brilliant!!! We all could do with the slap-on-the-forehead for not seeing that one...embroider on...
ReplyDeleteI know...crazy isn't? It would never have occurred to me. I love how nice the front looks now.
