Knollys, Knollys, Knollys, get yr big sleeves here

Posted on January 20, 2007 by Trystan

This time, I sewed up the side seam and sliced a big ol’ chunk out of the front (after drawing various lines to see what worked, of course). I like it. I think it’s a fair resemblance to the actual Knollys sleeve. Y’know, if you get past the wimpy muslin ;-).

I transferred the muslin changes to pattern paper, and now I’m ready to cut into the actual fabrics. ‘Cept I’m beat and there’s a Sharks game tonight and I want a pumpkin beer and well… maybe tomorrow. I did get a lot done today for a recovering sicky. Did all my laundry, cleaned the cat box, swept the whole house, tidied the sewing room, and then did the mockup and patterning. Shouldn’t push it just yet.
