Sorry the jacket didn't work out; muslins are worth it for big projects.

Maybe I just can't get past that front seam not matching. *shudder*<br />I like the Claire Schaeffer, its so neat and clean.becki-chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469536334449247839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-8163142544009450862015-10-12T13:37:41.320-07:002015-10-12T13:37:41.320-07:00I don't mind the magazine tracing.

I really hate taping the PDF's together though the Style Arc are easier to put together than others I've tried.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-4997008636699005892015-10-12T09:02:53.733-07:002015-10-12T09:02:53.733-07:00If a shape doesn't suit you - and clearly roun...If a shape doesn't suit you - and clearly rounded shoulders don't (nor me neither as it happens) then finding out on a toile is so helpful.It's useful to be reminded of that. But I think you are a little harsh about the PDF. It is obviously taken straight from the magazine, which can't handle pattern piece names or the maze on the pattern sheet would look even worse. And from your photo I could see the notch at the underarm seam on the gusset and the numbering which indicates which edges join together, so the markings were definitely not non-existent. But "insert piece neck edge" truly does sound a like a mystery! Your photo doesn't show it, but I wondered if there were any numbers on it? Could it be interfacing or some sort of shoulder pad? Looking forward to seeing your conclusions about the Shaeffer jacket and how it compares with the earlier pattern.Anne Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751503421469462948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-45121185680734293672015-10-11T23:14:11.465-07:002015-10-11T23:14:11.465-07:00Ha I tried tracing from a burdastyle magazine once...Ha I tried tracing from a burdastyle magazine once. Never again! In fact there was a coat I liked but as I like to tissue fit and couldn't even be bothered to print/ tape/ add seam allowancea etc I actually found something similar from their printed pattern range and ordered it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-76183842575203225672015-10-11T18:42:02.413-07:002015-10-11T18:42:02.413-07:00I loved this post.

And new ones all the time. That gusset is a chuckle, and since I have The Big Bang Theory on the TV as I write, I loved your Starship pun.

I've also noticed their affinity for interesting sleeves. I guess it's good in terms of trying out new things, but I often prefer a regular set-in sleeve to one with a very dropped armpit or something. You do make a good case for muslins!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455909792052564401noreply@blogger.com
