New Girl ~ Sew Along ~ The muslin

 

 

 

I made the muslin for the   New Girl Sew Along dress,  and overall

 I am happy with the fit. (Rosy your thoughts :)

The fabric I used for the muslin is left over fabric from a curtain project, and it has absolutely "no" give to it.

The fashion fabric I will use has "some" stretch so it will feel much better.

 

 

I do find the shoulder seams are too long....

 

 

 

...I think I prefer this look better.

 

Rosy, should the band be longer? It is at my natural waist. 

 

 

(In the muslin my band seam doesn't match aaghh :} but it will in my garment)
 

 

 The fabric I'll be using for the dress (well one of the dresses)  is a fuschia

colored Fashion Suiting (63%Poly/ 32%Rayon/ 5%Spandex)
It has a nice weight and feel to it.

 

 

 

 

 I do have some apple green colored fabric that would be the perfect color for this
Sew Along Dress project.....but it is a knit (poly)  fabric....I bought it from Fabric Mart in 2010. Even though it is a knit, it really needs to be used for this
New Girl dress pattern!

 

 

I'm going to be very ambitious and I will make this pattern out of this
fabric too... :)






I want to Thank Rosy for all the great posts she is providing for this Sew Along.
They are informative, very well done and very easy to follow.
Thank You Rosy :)

Happy Sewing!
