@EugestShirley@m.ai6yr.org @jjcelery@mastodon.ie @femme_mal@mstdn.social that was helpful, nonetheless. Will go cut that panel and sew it in next and see where we are. This is helpful regardless! I would have made the same mistake on the final garment. #sewing

@EugestShirley@m.ai6yr.org @jjcelery@mastodon.ie @femme_mal@mstdn.social It claims it is men's. I'll go see if I have a jacket that fits me anymore. 😎😎

(the last jacket I had tailored, which was only one, was in high school, when I was a beanpole and probably weighted 50 lbs less.... I was SKINNY. Skinny weakling who never saw sunlight, spent too much time in the basement on the computer

@EugestShirley@m.ai6yr.org @jjcelery@mastodon.ie @femme_mal@mstdn.social aha!! I misunderstood the pattern... there's a whole other panel missing!!! #sewing

Result is: uh oh, the middle of this most certainly will NOT work. I am slightly sucking in my gut so the pin doesn't pop out! Wayyyy too small around my middle section. (UPDATE: AHA! Figured this out, there's another panel which I was unclear about, which is between the back and the front...) Cc @EugestShirley@m.ai6yr.org @femme_mal@mstdn.social #tailoring #sewing

Patterns cut. It took a few hours with interruptions, but sewed everything together for front and back and also did the darts. #sewing

Fabric for the test pattern. Tailor's Chalk being delivered but not hear yet from Wawak, so it's a purple crayon. #sewing

Interesting. This meshtastic node is approximately at JPL. Which would explain the enthusiasm for the USGS earthquake output #jpl #meshtastic

Someone wired up the USGS earthquakes to #meshtastic recently.... Seems like they will want to limit it geographically.

You can see this implemented on the fediverse at

Okay, the plan now per the suggestions here is to cut out the "M" pattern, and then trace it onto some of the cheap fabric I have (the white thin cotton there) and pin it together (sew?), and check for fit. Before tracing and cutting the Barney colored purple duck fabric (quack quack?) #sewing

So, the question now is if I pre-adjust the middle of the pattern (around the waist), or use the "large" pattern? From prior experience with the shirt, doing so will make the shoulders not fit well. I think what I'll do is draw a line at the waist area from the "M" to the "L" and follow that line instead of the "M". This should only be the front pieces and back pieces.
