Sewing Insanity
I've got a big ol' pile of muslin in my trash can after repeated attempts at sewing a top from my sloper pattern. I am still having fitting issues. I have altered the pattern so much that I finally went back to the original pattern just to see what my original issue was.
I know it has something to do with the armscye. The original pulls too tightly across my chest at my armpits in the front. The pattern I have altered to fix the pulling now has an extra pouch of fabric, it's like a vertical fold next to my arms. Ugh...somewhere in between the two is the answer. I have a couple of books on hold at the library that hopefully will help.
Driving me crazy.

Maybe you can call some ancient home ec teacher to help?

I have a subscription to Threads magazine and know that they addressed this problem in a recent issue. They might have some info on their web site?
HEy thanks for the suggestions guys. Katie, I'll look into that! I've actually been thinking about getting a subscription to Threads lately...
