Let me see what I can do to help now that I understand more about the situation.

First of all, I’m going to suggest my favorite book which I think will be very useful to you: “Fit for Real People” by Pati Palmer. She covers all sorts of fit situations for every body shape, and I think you’ll find it to…[Read more]

You’re using one size sleeve, another size armhole, and a different size neckline, and still another size side-seam/width? This sounds too complicated to me!

Sorry to hear that you’re having trouble! Without seeing photos or knowing the type of jersey (the amount of stretch, especially), it’s difficult to say what’s happening with your muslin. This style is designed to have a dropped shoulder–the sleeve seam sits further down on the shoulder/upper arm. Is that what’s throwing you?…[Read more]

I was just wondering how you were planning to block the top? There are many ways you coukd do it, given the pieces you have to work with.

I think if you used just the plain fabrics up the top and the floral for the skirt, it would work a treat.

Have you started? I think the top could look stunning colour blocked, particularly if you used darker colours to your advantage. I, personally, wouldn’t mix plains with florals in a top, I would make the top or skirt from the patterned but that is purely personal and as I wear mainly black, grey or navy I am probably…[Read more]
