Things like forward shoulder adjustments, grading out the waist, etc.<br /><br />When I was first fitting things I had a printed out list of this regular adjustments so they could be done and checked off before the first muslin. <br /><br /><br />At the beginning I also had a notebook for things that needed multiple muslins. I'd make a note about what I'd changed before making the muslin. Then I'd usually make notes about what didn't fit after trying on the muslin. <br /><br /><br />I hope that gives you some ideas on how to keep track of your fitting changes.Heather Beenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170578327853219575.post-74056114186113019702015-02-05T10:31:57.780-05:002015-02-05T10:31:57.780-05:00How do you organize all your pattern adjustments? ...How do you organize all your pattern adjustments? I have finally been won over to muslin-making but am losing track of which adjustments I made to which versions of the pattern. In terms of the tracings, what do you keep, what do you toss and how to you keep track of it all so you can replicate the correct one in the future?Naomi Crystalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170578327853219575.post-13795962010136152602015-01-12T08:20:45.597-05:002015-01-12T08:20:45.597-05:00Thanks Sara.
