It's crazy! I did the exact same thing and then stopped with my muslin.

I appreciate that it may take a few muslins to get the fit of something right, that's not my main gripe with this pattern right now.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-37333675393996719342015-01-27T10:52:37.830+11:002015-01-27T10:52:37.830+11:00I completely agree, it's very frustrating.

I can see why they don't have multi-sized patterns, as they also have the seam lines marked on the pattern, however I think that the cons outweight the pros.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-1456597601216363822015-01-27T04:31:07.500+11:002015-01-27T04:31:07.500+11:00I'm so sorry that this pattern is giving you a...I'm so sorry that this pattern is giving you a major headache! I made it last year and I remembered removing the horizontal seam on the sleeves and widening them because they felt to tight. Also lowering the armscye. I could have done a sway back adjustment but overall it was ok. I hope you can make it work since it's a nice jacket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-76140806427142487222015-01-27T03:03:31.566+11:002015-01-27T03:03:31.566+11:00Feeling your pain!

The Rowe's Tunic, which I did as a dress, was just awful and not worth refitting. The Fiona Cardigan was all over the place. My muslin was so awful that I wrote a blog post kind of fussing about it and Style Arc - not something I usually do! I'm holding out hope for the Heidi Cardigan (free?) with the Fiona, because it's basically shapeless :-) Thks so much for this post on the Ziggi - it's appealing, but I'll use the Larissa from BurdaStyle if I ever get round to a jacket like this one.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784505178222083364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-76931933093114303352015-01-26T20:16:48.217+11:002015-01-26T20:16:48.217+11:00thank you, i understand what you mean now.thank you, i understand what you mean now.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-39197653528898061412015-01-26T13:47:27.295+11:002015-01-26T13:47:27.295+11:00I recall getting very excited with I heard SA was ...I recall getting very excited with I heard SA was going to have 3 size PDfs...but it deflated quickly when I learned they were each separate files. The point of having 3 sizes (to me anyway) is so you can size up and down throughout the body and save a little time in alterations or at least not have to print out another size when you realize the one you picked is just not going to work. I also loose the benefit of being able to sell an original paper pattern to someone else if it's a fail (I trace patterns never cut), so yeah, it can be a bit of a loss.<br />I still don't understand why they don't nest since lots of other indies do. How hard can it be? For this reason I'll pass on them. If I want single size, I'll gamble with Lekala or Bootstrap.<br />Best of luck with your pattern, it is really frustrating when you spend a long time working and no real pay-off. I rarely get by with less than 2 muslins of anything new. I think the hardest part at this stage is decided whether to press on or move on to something else.<br />ShelEasily Amewsedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126346591277402781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-52287870898091281982015-01-26T03:22:19.923+11:002015-01-26T03:22:19.923+11:00I don't like when a pattern is single sized, i...I don't like when a pattern is single sized, it is important to have other sizes in order to make your own alterations. Grading at home, without the appropriate program it's impossible without multiple sizes. I feel your frustration, I should go with another pattern company.Raquel from J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07385569407654276890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-38648268838311422052015-01-26T00:50:16.301+11:002015-01-26T00:50:16.301+11:00sorry for my bad english.

What I see on your pictures is that your jacket is too small in chest that is why you have these lines from neck to armholes. Your bust darts are transformed into seams. I would open the seam and get some ease in bust from seam allowances. On the back peace the shoulder line is too high and this causes lines from neck to armhole. Horizontal lines on the back piece on the waist show that it is too small on hips. <br />I hope you will understand what I mean and this will help. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-43866433594220496032015-01-26T00:32:51.301+11:002015-01-26T00:32:51.301+11:00Thanks for your suggestions.

For the back piece I would recommend to cut a little bit of the shoulder seam. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
