Making A Muslin

Burda 6610

I’ve been busy today. I spent some time measuring the pattern pieces of Burda 6610, and comparing those measurements with my own body measurements. I also measured a couple of RTW tops in my closet. Eventually I decided to trace a size 20 and go from there. So now I have this:

I am making view B, a simple pullover top with bias binding on the neck. The sleeves and hem are finished with a narrow 5/8 inch hem. This is a very basic pattern for woven fabrics and I need a good fitting pattern of this sort. It does have a side bust dart and shoulder darts for shaping. The sleeve is the basic boring sleeve that we all know and love.

I’m using up the last of the ugly fabric for this muslin. Two more yards of this fabric out of the Stash! I have high hopes for this pattern because it is so suitable for pattern hacking.

More to come. Thanks for stopping by.
