I'm happy with the fit everywhere, having taken a little off the top of the yoke which was riding a little high for some reason (it's usually the other way around for me - I was quite surprised when I saw this). I also had a crease of fabric under my bum cheeks, so I took about 1.5cm in from the back inseams and this has taken care of that. I still haven't decided on final placement for the back pockets, but will get around to that. I'm also going to plan my embellishment on the back pockets to make sure that all that careful figure flattery I've built in isn't ruined with poor pocket embellishment. I want all the lines going in the right way.<br /><br /> Oh, and I've lost my rivets and jeans buttons, so I'll probably have to spend the toile stage time searching for them. Drat!vivienzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518896655283195065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434174321836254659.post-72701927743453926132013-04-22T16:20:12.004+01:002013-04-22T16:20:12.004+01:00Watch the two videos then go the blog on how to li...Watch the two videos then go the blog on how to line it up and adjust the pattern http://www.thesewingforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=47029&highlight=crotchMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793717223301171836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434174321836254659.post-31942763351689566142013-04-21T19:51:26.658+01:002013-04-21T19:51:26.658+01:00What is the goldfish bown method?

The method that works best for me is: tie something (elastic, tape measure) around my waist then measure from centre back waist, under legs and up to centre front waist. I then measure from centre front to where the crotch curve meets the leg inseams, which also gives the measurement for my bottom. I've found it's pretty reliable and any remaining adjustments can be made by altering the depth of the inseams. I'll post some pics later.vivienzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518896655283195065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434174321836254659.post-2614127100878009282013-04-21T10:49:54.406+01:002013-04-21T10:49:54.406+01:00Nicely made adjustments there Vivien.

First the trace off and then as an experiment I want to tackle the crotch curve with both the goldfish bown method and tissue fitting. I just want to compare which gives me the better outcome and if the same which is easier.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793717223301171836noreply@blogger.com
