With very few alterations I'll lay the muslin on the pattern and add or subtract tissue paper as needed. With a more complex change, as I expext this to be after tonight, I'll often trace it onto a new piece of tisssue paper, estimate grain lines and other markings based on the original pattern piece and use the new one. If the muslin was tightly woven, I sometimes use it, but its so easy for fabric to stretch that tissue paper seems safer, esp if I intend to use the pattern again later. I'll document the whole process on the blog.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />-AllisonAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01716213095620396409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491039818479714865.post-51921159157428352542011-12-15T10:44:47.570-05:002011-12-15T10:44:47.570-05:00Looking good!

If so, how? (by the time I've done some muslins, I'm usually too confused to know what to alter on the paper pattern.SewTypicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476849223678980036noreply@blogger.com
