I started the muslin mock-up last night for the jumpsuit. Managed to sew the four main pieces together before I had to call it a night. With fingers crossed I tried it on tonight. I suppose it can be called rather successful since I wasn’t rocked with that stab of disappointment somewhere in the guts. I’ve never sewn pants due to what I imagine to be a deep hatred for the things and never considered I would find myself in a combo piece. I’m going to have to research how to better fit the crotch, though. I don’t think the torso is too long (considering I am hesitant to bend over) so I think the gaping might be due to another issue....too much extra fabric in the front?
Also, I the darts in the back will probably need to be deeper to help bring in the back. Sadly while I was hoping to skate by with a safety pin front it looks as though I will have to run out and get a cheap zipper to get a more accurate idea of how the fabric will pull when properly closed up.
