Currently sewing an extremely tiny garment - its not really that much easier. I’ve given up using my brain for this. Currently sewing an extremely tiny garment – its not really that much easier.

(and Annie J. for turning you on to it). Whatever the solution, it's the most fun I've had in a while. I usually do the pattern puzzle but just don't post my results because I don't have a scanner and drawing/illustration software and other accoutrements at the moment. I like that Sandra B. mentioned about the Toledo blouse--it would be kind of neat to see if you could get more that one workable garment out of this cut. Last night I worked on the "Costume de Roméo" and it's pretty cool how that worked out. I will post the info on my Flickr later this week--I plan to sew up the muslin in stages and photo so someone could see how it goes together. Anyway, thanks again.

This would mean the two straight lines of the skirt (now at the sides of the illustration) would be joined at CB. Only thing is, I can't figure out how the side panel would join to the back skirt if there were a twist.

Mine is way different than yours - where you saw back panels, I saw collars, where you see armholes I saw neckholes. The way you untangled this by matching the seams seems pretty logical compared to mine, where I just freely invented ways it might attach as I drew. I think I might have to try drawing your version from the back. It really is like a Rorschach test in that solutions seem to reveal something about the way we think.

This reminds me of one of Isabel Toledo's blouses, which uses the same pattern for 4 different end results, all depending on how it's sewn. I did a small range of garments last year that all used the same pattern piece to make different items (several trousers, several blouses, a dress and a couple of skirts) but my attempt was so unsophisticated after having seen this work. Back to the cutting table. I don’t normally find these pattern puzzles too tricky, but I have to confess this one has me quite baffled.
