in that time i managed to iron out what's left of my roll of muslin (time to buy a new roll!), figure out which pieces i needed to cut out to do a fitting of some new slacks, and cut out the pieces.

this is my next project:

i'm going to try to do the vest with the inset button panel and the slacks out of this grey pinstripe. i just got the end of the roll and they only had about 2.5 yards, so i'm not sure if i'm going to have enough to do it all, but i'll give it a shot. i'm also going to try to eek out the lining for the vest and the pants pockets out of the white satin i've got left from this blouse.

i'm not sure if i'm going to have enough, so i have to be very very careful about how i cut everything out. making a muslin fit properly is going to be imperative since i'm going to have to squeeze every last inch i can out of both pieces of fabric. wish me luck in this. no room for errors here.
