(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home2/katrine/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121Stretch satin will be a challenge! You might look at a lightweight denim/chambray that has spandex in it. Or even a garment cotton that is listed as “stretch”.
]]>Wow – good for you for figuring it out and taking time to fix! And yeah… will agree with you to prewash even mockup fabric if one thinks it will be used in the final garment.
]]>So happy you are pushing your skills and making a mockup!
Yes, you will learn from even the basic muslin one you have.
In a two-piece sleeve the inner seam lands about 3″ up to the front from the lowest, bottom-most point on the bodice. (In Victorian bodices the side seam may or may not be at this lowest point.) I look at that seam placement first and pin around (underneath) to the back then fit the gathers/pleats or the ease in the sleeve head to what’s left of the armhole. The back sleeve seam may or may not line up with the side back or shoulder seam. It’s all in however it fits YOU. There’s no definite match point here on the back.
For the sleeve head excess my post on how to deal with that will be helpful to you. And best of luck!!
]]>I also am quite confused by the two part sleeves and how the seam placement should fall. The only pattern direction was that the inner arm seam should match to a notch. There was quite a lot of extra fabric in the sleeve (the sleeve is a less fitted style) to be massaged around the shoulder hole and the outer seams could end up just about anywhere. I assume I should aim for the center back of the arm and clip a placement notch for that outer into the mockup?
