Today I finished the first top - a shoulder princess seamed shirt. The pattern I drafted at 3.30h one morning, when having returned from Japan I was plagued with jetlag and needed something quiet to do. I used cotton batiste that I bought in Sapporo, one of the very few fabric I bought this time around. I obviously hasn´t been the right time yet to put out those beautiful cotton prints they usually had for sale... The fabric store has been very specific about winter/summer material. I am almost content with the pattern. I will only move the sleeveplacketposition further (towards the underarmseam) and shorten the placket.
The pants I made just before leaving for Japan. They are made of wool with a full rayon lining. They have a side zipper and are also selfdrafted. Very comfortable and wearable. Only dislike are the wrinkles at the front crotch - either I have to experiment on the front crotch curve, or let out the inner front seam. Or wait for weight loss- I went on a (small) diet (just 6 kilos), as I saw a number on the scale I don´t want to see again soon.
Also today I made a muslin for the Vogue 2925 jacket. Hope I got the fit right now, it is next on my list. But only after I return from a trip to Munich, to visit my second brother´s family.

Eva your blouse looks great. I came to look at your blog in the hope of seeing the V2925 jacket. I am making the same jacket for the SWAP as my first ever jacket. I found your reviews of the pants and top from V2925 very helpful, and am looking forward to seeing your work with the jacket when you get back from Munich.

I love the blouse and the pants too! Cannot see any wrinkles
Eva, both garments look fantastic.
I am so impressed that you are drafting so many of your own patterns.
Very nicely done!
Thank you, girls! Your comments are very encouraging!
