"Almost" a Completed Great Coat Muslin

I did get most of my muslin for the coat sew along done this week end.

I decided I'd make Burda 7855 View B instead of Butterick 5145, and so far I am really liking it.

All I had to do tonight was sew the sleeves on... but first, before I start I thought, "I'll just check my emails and a couple of blogs, just a quick look".

Thanks to Belinda at Sew4Fun I'm hooked on Project Runway Australia. Every week she posts the next episode.

Thank You Belinda :)

So of course when I saw it on her blog tonight, I just couldn't help myself, I had to watch Episode (7) "tonight" - instead of finishing my muslin - but that's OK. I really enjoy the show and it's a great way to sit back and unwind after a busy work day :)

So I will post pictures of my muslin as sooooon as I sew those sleeves on :)

Have a great sewing day!

Mon Café Couture said...: Ann, it's good you found time for this coat sewalong project, I may do like you did - change the pattern completely, cause I am completely lost in grading patterns. I'am glad you're happy with your muslin, that's rather encouraging to go on with the sewing.; 25 August 2008 at 06:15
Ann Made Studio said...: Cafe couture yes you are right, it is so encouraging when the muslin works out :) hope you find one to start soon :); 5 September 2008 at 20:30
