But, not my last! I've been following the discussion about SureFitDesigns on Stitcher's Guild for some time. A while ago, I took the plunge and bought the Dress Kit, Pants Kit and Shirt Kit. Honestly, Carolyn made me do this. She kept showing some very nicely fitted garments, using her SureFit sloper.
I made two muslins to get the fit perfected. The first garment I've made is a blouse, using the Dress Kit. It's very plain--bust darts, vertical darts front and back. Convertible collar. Roll-up sleeves. The fabric is a poly/cotton blue and red stripe. This blouse is as perfectly fitted, I think, as a blouse can be, considering my lumpy, middle-aged body.
I love how it fits! It's great to have a TNT bodice that I can make into blouses or jackets or dresses--whatever I want. I'm having a ball. I have a white blouse sewn, waiting for buttonholes. That's something I need badly in my wardrobe. I'll be sewing blouses for a while, changing each one and adding different collars, cuffs and silhouettes to each. Eventually, I'll tackle the ShirtKit and PantsKit. So happy!

Thank you all for your nice words about my white jacket. It's a garment that's pretty distinctive. It will be traveling and showing up somewhere in the future. Just wait and see!
