V8750 – eye candy!

the design lines should allow for colour blocking and lots of slenderizing

Me Midlands Mate requested more photos, so thought I’d play a bit & see what happened.

Hope they might be of interest or use, particularly those of the wrong side of the fabric. Didn’t do any seam finishing this first time round, other than using pinking shears, as fabric is medium weight 100% cotton.

Moral to this story might be moi coulda been more careful choosing her fabric’s pattern! At the time (several years ago, a-hem!) I hadn’t read all the directions before choosing said fabric, and wanted to see if all the lines might come out in interesting patterns. NOT!

S-o-o-o, another lesson might be to read the pattern, and look at the pattern piece layout a bit more thoroughly . . .  😉

no, these do not meet! had to choose which ones would & as I never tuck a top inside a skirt, knew this would be hidden (he-he!)

apologies for the unfocused close-up

my hand’s behind this to show how much natural curve those shaped pieces add

see how much bowing there is? tried to show how much those curved panels influence garment’s shaping

this time pushed the extra fabric toward wall behind the skirt

yet a-nother view, again attempting to show that effect
