The past two days I've been making a test garment called a Toile. It's usually made of muslin so often called a Muslin. The way this jacket is constructed it's difficult to make any alterations once you've started cutting and sewing, so it's important to have the Toile fit just the way you want. Then I'll transfer the Toile to pattern paper before cutting the jacket fabric. Doing this prep work first will let me start cutting and sewing with confidence that the finished product will fit. It will also make it easier in future if I want to make another jacket using this pattern.
Glad to see your blog and all the pictures and comments. I am in the process of marking my pattern (V8804) to cut my muslin. Several of us in the Nashville chapter of ASG (American Sewing Guild) are working on a French jacket using Zoom as our means of communication for progress, questions and updates!
