Tabitha Update

I finished draping Tabitha and then drafted a paper pattern from the fitted bodice front and back and skirt front and back muslin pieces.  Then I cut out some muslin from the pattern pieces and stitched it together.  I need to purchase a long separating zipper to install down the center back.

Then I will begin the process, with hopefully my dear husband's assistance, of making a fitted muslin of myself. Then I will pad out Tabitha where needed to fit my muslin.

I do need to tweak Tabitha's fitted muslin more yet as it needs to be very fitted to her.  But below is a picture of my progress along with a picture of our crazy cat, Eclipse, who thinks he has to inspect all my sewing projects.

Thanks for reading,
