Clorful Top Burda 2/2009-108 - altered pattern

I love this pattern! I really do, but never altered it before. First, it needed to be lengthened. Then I made a swayback adjustment. Then I implemented all I learned last week about narrow and forward sloping shoulders. And it made all the difference! The top fits unbelievably well. So I decided the pattern could be turned into a TNT.

Hmmm...not yet. I'd love to try one more thing. It is drafting a shallower armscye.

I love the crazy colors of this fabric. It's a light and fresh cotton knit. I have enough left to make a T-shirt. And will use it to see how the next adjustment works.

Z's pants La Mia Boutique Uomo autunno/inverno 1997-98 He is so pleased with his new pants! The best ones, he sais. :-) Light as air and keep him cool. I made two muslins. The first was too big. The second needed only some twitching. I think the result is pretty nice. But the thing I'm proud of is the matching of the lines at the side seams! This plaid is asymmetrical. Every piece had to be cut individually. I just wasn't able to match the vertical lines also. Maybe some other time. But I'm not a perfectionist. Fortunately. Otherwise I would have already gone mad with this pair...

Brown shorts Made using the Perfect Pants Pattern and fabric remnants and scraps and recycled notions. There is still the crotch problem. Will have to alter the pattern some more. :-(
