Today I'm using Pellon 830 Easy Pattern to make the final pattern. When I made the muslin pieces I drew all the lines and markings for quilting, grainline, etc. I also drew in some minor adjustments once I tried on the muslin. Now I will trace the muslin, with any adjustments, onto Easy Pattern. When I want to make this jacket again I'll be able to go right to the Easy Pattern version.
- Note that the pattern does NOT include seam allowances. The edges of the muslin are where the seamlines will be sewn. I will add the seam allowances when I cut the final fabric. This is the method used in Claire Schaeffer's Couture Sewing book.
- The exception is at the hemline, where I added extra length so I can decide on the final length of the jacket once I can try it on.
