Hello from Australia! I am new here and about to begin my first Yanaka Jacket. I have purchased velvet upholstery fabric (maybe a little too daring for my first jacket?). It is beautiful fabric but unfortunately white on the inside. See here:…[Read more]

I was thinking about how to approach that “forward head adjustment” last night and looking at my Fira dress. I think it is easier to see what to do from you muslin rather than the flat pattern. I think of that adjustment taking a tuck across the entire shoulder. Could you try pinning out 5/8″ and trying it on? That may help to show you what the…[Read more]

Hi Kanataji- It does look wonderful from the front! The back view where you have pulled the dress forward looks great, too! That side view picture is really helpful.
I’m having a little difficulty following your alteration, can you snap and post a pic of the alterations you made?A couple of thoughts…
1. Whenever a garment is riding to the…[Read more]

You are doing great!!! Fit is a process. It gets exhausting but it is so worth it.
As for the arms, I have VERY full biceps. I have a really hard time with fitted sleeves, but the other sleeve for this pattern I was able to use with ZERO adjustments. Maybe try it out?
As for the waist, at least the way I fit it, my natural waist hits at the…[Read more] -

I took the easy way out and just sewed the pattern as it was drafted! It turned out great 🙂

In my head I thought, I just need more length and that will give me slouch. That is not really working like I thought it would. 🙂
I’ll try under the bust and see if that makes a difference. It’s hard doing a muslin in a woven for a knit piece! -

Great! Complete guide for Fitting is just the updated version of FFRP. I don’t think you need to do a body map with a different pattern, you can just do it with this pattern if you want.
I know some people really hate tissue fitting but it can be so helpful. My fit process for this pattern was 1) muslin size 14 (which was too big in the s…[Read more]

These are my thoughts but I’m no expert. 🙂
The 10 definitely looks too big in the shoulders.
Even the 8 is borderline. Technically with a 35″ high bust you should do a size six, but the 8 is probably doable if the 6 seems too extreme.On the cup size. Your full bust is 38 and the finished measurements of the size 8C cup is only 38.5″ which is…[Read more]

Hi there, I’ve finished a muslin for the B6526 crossover sweater in a woven (but I will sew in a knit). The fit is actually great and if I didn’t want to modify it I would be good to go.
However, I want the bodice front to be more drapey like the attached pic. To achieve that, would I just add an even 3″ strip at center front?
I tried that but it…[Read more] - Load More
