I Had a Long Day

Not just long, but frustrating. It took me five hours to make a pattern for a woman who is large and oddly shaped. Normally, I have no problems making patterns for people like her, but today it just didn't want to cooperate. Normally patterns take me just under an hour to complete, they are simple and I'm on a roll, step by step, with no agitations. Today has been total opposite. I've had to leave the drafting several times when something didn't look or work right. When I see something wrong or need to change something, I use a red pencil. When I need to change something a second time, I use a blue pencil. This time there are many red AND blue marks. I'm worn out and my brain is fried.

Utoh?! 😟I see this is an older post and I hope it all worked out in the end.

@Peaches It did work out. More recently, I made a suit for a guy who is 5'11 and weights 425 pounds! That pattern was even more challenging as I had to make the body in four pieces rather than the two that I normally make. I was very surprised that the amount of alterations I needed to do to that suit was minimal. He went diving in it for the first time today, and was very pleased with the fit. Whew!!
