Read Tami's comment for a better idea of how we should have gone about this... her sewing is first class! But, I still love sewing, even when I feel less than capable.

It's inspiring, however, to see you and William working through it together, and I can only imagine the wonders of what he'll produce once he gets things figured out!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383220573177416855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-50856326860574927352013-11-15T12:50:19.558-08:002013-11-15T12:50:19.558-08:00sew-er

Third muslin? I know, I know... that's how to get it done right. I am rather proud of how much better I am about doing things right, than I used to be, but I see I have a lot of room to improve!Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-53083291051683712602013-11-15T08:27:09.294-08:002013-11-15T08:27:09.294-08:00There are some great tutorials on YouTube, on all ...There are some great tutorials on YouTube, on all sorts of subjects. This tutorial was not specific to our vest, but it was still exactly the help we needed, totally applicable. Thanks for the good wishes.

Patterns are just starting points. So far I've made two muslins and two different patterns. Now I have to make a third set of pattern corrections and a third muslin. Fingers crossed that the third time's a charm. ;-) Tell William to transfer any corrections he makes to his paper pattern. That way it'll just be cutting out the lovely fabric and sewing for the next vest. Vests must be the hottest thing in the male fashion world right now. I keep seeing them on different TV characters ... James Spader in Blacklist and Tom Selleck in Blue Bloods come to mind. Enjoy the journey!Tami @ Lemon Tree Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655631671353374029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-71546353731927670692013-11-13T14:03:49.276-08:002013-11-13T14:03:49.276-08:00I had no idea there were sewing tutorials on YouTu...I had no idea there were sewing tutorials on YouTube, and for specific pattern, too.
