https://chubbysewcialist.tumblr.com I have way less of a connundrum about this wearable muslin, as its such an ugly color irl that I left the pockets out, having no interest in actually wearing it outside the house. Its less painfull to look at if I think of it as a weird brown rather than a failed purple. No wonder the linen store was selling it at 60% off. Shoulda known better, but at least I have plenty of material to practice with now? Still sad I used all of that dark blue up instead, tho. As for the pattern draft, I've seen other 'flared skirt' drafting instructions that include a step for balancing the front and back halves of the skirt that Armstrong either didn't include, worded badly, or I just missed it due to brainfog. This seems OK enough to me, maybe because I have such a big butt anyway? But I'll look over the slopers again and see if there's room for improvement (lol). Will link to that tutorial if/when I work on it, but otherwise this is also a good wovens pattern for me. You might have noticed by now that on this first weekend of March I took a lot of photos without the best lighting or ... best of anything, really. I installed a better photo app on my tablet, but the hallway I use for photos was so filled with junk that I just propped it up on a shelf and used the timer. I had enough spoons to either take photos for the blahg, or clean up the hallway. Better outfit, fashion-blahg style photos coming... someday. And the app helps a lot with some photos, but I still need to figure out a way to diffuse this awful glaring yellow light.

https://chubbysewcialist.tumblr.com Unfortunately, the wearable muslin/toile for the half circle skirt didn't come out nearly as well. I accidentally put the pockets in against the back half rather than the front, and then by the time I realized my mistake I'd alredy sewn and understitched the facings. And now the pockets look rather... Georgia-O-Keefe-esque. To put it delicately. And just really bunched up and awkward. I ended up really liking this fabric color, even tho it wasn't what I expected from the website of the fabric store that shall not be named, so I kinda wanna fix it. Likewise dissapointed that I wasted so much of it in failed pattern drafting experements. Otoh, I know this linen company's products are not very colorfast, so unless I want to make it dry-clean-only it might not be worth fixing. It's also shorter than I'm comfortable with, even with the narrowest hem I could finagle.
