Well, I made this up, and man it was the *most* ill fitted pattern Ive ever made.
Well, these ones are delightful Vanessa.Vanessa said:A few recent acquisitions:
And, look - Russian PJs, Neecerie!
Vanessa said:I always muslin the mail order ones. They aren't nearly as trustworthy as McCall or Simplicity.
Lady Day said:Generally do, or measure the pieces, as I did this time. Its just a Frankenstein pattern that will need more adjusting than the typical mail order I generally have good luck with.

fuzzylizzie said:Inky, I just found the same pattern and I've also been looking for the right plaid. Then a friend emailed - she found a ready-made 49er in my size and is sending it. I'll probably make another anyway.
Inky said:If i can't find a 49er that I love - then I shall make my own!
that is, after i do some dreaded pattern grading and make up a muslin
oh yeah, and find some plaid....
Lauren said:Ha! I have this one, too, and bought it with the same intentions! We'll have to start a fan club.

The center pannel was too wide, and just threw the whole sizing off. So on the redo, Ill have to widen the arm holes, take in the bust a good 4" and shrink the center pannel about 2" :eusa_doh:
So much for the ease of something in *my* size
