Off Course making Toiles

My laptop is ICU.Files/Folders , Journal notes, Pictures of WIP all currently in a deep coma.
Vintage desktop compupa is the backup at home ............say no more.

The arrival of a certain pattern, last week ( along with other goodies.Thank you very as always M)
Patrones #223 style 11
A Chanel jacket ,and as the Patrones pattern is recreated from an original jacket, took a breatherfrom working on the coat to explore the pattern pieces, except the jacket pattern is drafted with the side panel seam.
That requires a separate post to explain where the shaping is , and the limitations for a curvy female form requiring FBA (Full bust alterations)

Left the prepping for the WIP............one of two winter coats for fitting and making up of several toiles.


Similar pattern draft from Burda WOF 3/2004 Style #102.

Burda patterns I know what to do to them to get them to fit.Seemed the best way to get a better feel for the Patrones sloper and pattern drafts.Trace and alter both patterns
Compare the differences in the two slopers and try to get the Patrones one to fit( ambitious , yes I know)
Metres of cream wool pulled out and a foray into the dark side commenced.

I have fitted the panel seam type patterns in the past and have working prototypes for the versions with and without side seams.It is one of the most difficult alterations to do successfully.
After browsing back issues of Burda WOF stumbled on an article which made rethink and try out different options.

Unable to load more pictures right now.( No decent software on this dinosaur)

I am not even sure if I would want to do so.
This isnt a ( please tell me if my rear is too big in &***~~@.OH NO you don't) blog.
Iknow the answers thank you very much.
Incidentally I search online for FBA for the panel seam ( which is not the princess seam draft) yielded very little.Reviews for Vogue and Burda WOF styles as above had no specific /useful info.

Off to resuscitate the compupa
