Chicken or the Egg
I wanted to do a quick check in.
I can't entirely remember what I last mentioned doing with my Forever Project, so this is where I am at.
I have been working on putting together cleaned up pattern pieces for this project that includes adjustments to fit me like a glove. The focus, thus far, has been the top. Once the top is 99% figured out the rest is smooth (or at least smoother) sailing.
I have been focused on the top Front Piece (#A), because that is where most of the adjustments are. The Top Front (Piece #A) has had the kick-out waist completed. I also just finished making my FBA (Full Bust Adjustments). In retrospect, part of me wonders if it may be easier to make the FBA before doing the kick-out waist adjustments. Its a bit of a "What came 1st, the Chicken or the Egg..." thing going on but it may help with those troublesome darts a bit more. Of course this scenario would only occur with my "Smaller" patterns, because my others are large enough that I'll be able to simply grade the sizes.
Up next...

Up next...
- Clean up the Top Back Piece (#B)
- Make a Mock-up Top
Until next time
