Hokay! I can get the back and the front from one strip.
Every time I make a decision, I have to rest for a while.
The back is cut out, the front is cut out, a piece of fabric is dedicated to one half of the front yoke, I'm planning to cut a strip wide enough for the sleeves, but not all the way across, and I've tried on the old do rags and selected pattern gamma to make the new one.
I've decided to make the collar black on both sides, and that pattern, all the other black parts, and the interfacing patter are in the bag the fabric came in, together with some papers that came with the fabric.
Everything is piled on the card table, except what's in the folder I made from a large cardboard box. I plan to keep this folder under the bed while I work on the bras.
Real Soon Now I'll write the introduction and organize this file as a blog.
I folded over 19" and cut out the sleeves. At the last minute, I noticed that I must fold out the bottom 3 1/2", partly because the sleeve is bound instead of being hemmed, but mostly because the sleeve is too long.
Now to arrange the small pieces. Yesterday I found two of Dave's do rags, tried them on, and selected pattern gamma to make my new do rag.
⁂
Another last-minute notice: I moved the fold line in a quarter of an inch for the yellow cotton, and I'm planning to use the same style of zipper on this jersey.
While tabbing back to find the asterism, I noticed that I have a lot of construction blogs that I ought to read before working on this jersey.
My yellow linen do-rag comes too far down my forehead, but comfortably covers my sensitive ears, so I tried the plaid do-rag on again. It *will* cover if I tug a bit.
⁂
Cutting two copies on the fold is a pain, so I paused to make a full pattern for the front yoke. It took an entire 22" x 28" sheet of posterboard, which leave me with only one, so I must go to Dollar Tree soon. I hope they still sell oaktag- weight posterboard.
