McCall’s 4994: Muslin in Progress

Smurfette (my dressform) modeling the muslin.

Everything looks beautiful on Smurfette. Of course some fitting issues don’t show since she has no arms, and that might be how I missed this the first time around.

Unflattering mirror shot #1. (Yes, I wear glasses. Sigh.)

This is my second muslin for McCall’s 4994. The first version had really bunchy arms. I adjusted the pattern by making the kimono sleeve 2 inches smaller and (after looking at this now) need to add 2 inches to the waist. Adjusting it from 3/4 sleeves to short sleeves might have helped the issue with the sleeves some, but not by much.

  1. It looks promising! And your glasses look cute in these shots, but I have to wear glasses all the time so may be a little biased :)

  2. I have to wear contacts all the time and glasses when I’m home, since my vision is so bad. :)
