Time for me to take a deep breath, toss my Stewart plaid wool in the dryer with a warm damp towel ... then cut out the vest in it! It's both exciting and scary.

S2566 vest lining done
I just sewed up the vest lining, and tried it on with hubby's assistance to hold the side seams together ... and it looks like I not only got the princess seam FBA right, but my "curve the seams out on the princess seams" strategy to bring the waist out from fitting a 32" to fitting my 35" waist worked! I've done my little happy dance, and dressed up Mathilda for a pic:
Check it out ... Mathilda is stylin' now! Just a note, I didn't baste the side seams together since I had two extra hands when trying it on, so the sides are open in this pic. Since black just will not photo properly, here is a different version of this same pic, run through GIMP and with adjusted levels:
Now you can see the seams, and where I didn't quite ease the curve right on the bust LOL. For those with GIMP, look under "Colors" then select "Levels" and compress the input range to the left by quite a bit to get the same effect.

"It's both exciting and scary." I hear ya. Looking good.
After a bit of housework today, I hope to get to ye old sewing room.
It looks good! I love GIMP (though I find I tend to just use the "fill light" slider in Picasa for clothing shots as it's super fast.
