I'm using her tip from Power Sewing on M6503.
This is my second muslin of the chambray version. The first one (made out of muslin) fit well out without any adjustments as a size 14. I'm using up some of the original fabric purchased when I started sewing from the local 'Everything' store that was going for $1/yard. I'm hoping it will turn out to be a usable muslin.
I was intrigued by Betzina's tip to double the sleeves which will prevent limp sleeve hems, which I can definitely see happening with my fabric. I also found out that the fabric actually has a lengthwise stretch only after I cut out most of the shapes. I hope it doesn't cause too much problems.
I'm trying to remember to take things slow. I want to rush through it, but then when I make mistakes.
Used the plotter paper to do a complete pattern piece (those that were cut-on-fold) - I cut all the pieces out and block-fused those that needed it.
Used the butter knife again to score the fabric (like the Hera marker). This time I didn't use the waxed tracing paper but just the heat disappearing ink to mark.
