/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2628884
I usually sew the entire thing--be it a plush test or a garment test muslin--and make corrections on the actual test, pinning out areas that are too big, or slash and spread areas that are too small, and adding muslin into the too small areas. Muslin's great because you can write directly on it. After making and marking the corrections needed,for a plush, I measure the changes and transfer those to the paper pattern, then redraw the pattern with the corrections and do a second test muslin. For garments, I'll take the whole thing apart, iron the muslin, and use that to redraw the paper pattern. In picrel, the pink marking are corrections to the paper pattern made from pinning and drawing on the muslin. I'll redraw the pattern based on those marks and measurements. For plushes, I'll usually retest that corrected pattern in muslin, if it's a lot, or in cheap faux-Minky, because you usually need to assess how the fabric stretch affects the overall design.
