So, one quilt has been given, to my dad, I'll get some photos later, the other is in the washing machine now.
Here are the muslins I have made for the online sewing course created by Gretchen Hirsch for Craftsy.com. When I read the pattern details I was a little surprised that the measurements closest to mine were the size 38, as I thought this would be small. And, um, I was right - the muslin was far too small! (First plain muslin, top left). Sorry for the blurry pictures, I took this in a mirror, perhaps a bit of a dusty mirror, ahem).
I traced out and basted a second muslin in size 40 and think that this is okay? I also added an extra 1.25" to the length of the bodice. There is room for the interlining, lining and boning and I think the cup is quite a good fit? Not sure if the neck line needs to be raised a bit? Will see what my classmates think. :-)
