Yesterday, I started with checking everything on the mockup and guess what! IThe "vest" sections were each sewn on their wrong sides. That is because I forgot to add the little diamond marks when I copied the original pattern. I didn't really notice till I saw the bottom edges went up there instead of down.
So, I tore it out and redid it correctly. Ahh, that looks better!
Then I cut out the REAL thing! and cut out the interfacings and basted them to their fashion fabric sections. The basting took a while... The interfacing is organza that I found on sale on the internet.
When I cut out the striped fabric I tried to match it up at the seams. I don't think I did the best at matching but it doesn't look really bad.
Well, so far so good. I have to adjust all the neck seams before doing the collar.
I am a little concerned how much smaller the lining and the boning will make it.
Today will be a busy day so I probably won't get to work on it. The next big part is to cut out the lining.
