This was caused not by Lutterloh, but by my use of the wrong numbers when drafting the pants. I am going to draft another pattern soon and give it another shot with a better measure. You have to be careful and measure really carefully with the patterns. Honestly might be another way to put it. ;) However, the pants fit, and I am very happy with the fit as well. They are cut rather like Burda pants are, which is a great Euro-fit in the most important places. The vest is a bit snug as well. I am going to try a full figured pattern, but I think this vest will be cute over a nice knit top, and I am going to make another Ottobre top out of some ecru fabric I bought from Gorgeous Things. The shirt is on the way to finality, but has a collar and facing to finish and the hems. Progress report to be continued.

Yes, I am still sewing...
Lutterloh is this month's theme. I have been working on my Lutterloh online class. Three garments are not finished, but pretty far along. The fitting issue is that the pants should have been a bit larger.

I'm glad Lutterloh is working for your. My Dsis has the package but doesn't use it much. I took the class where they sell it, but decided not to buy it.
Thanks Sherril! I had no idea anyone was following my sewing blog! I thnk Lutterloh is fine if you really measure correctly - use the correct measurements and remember that it needs tweaking for our individual figures like any other pattern. I find them to be excellently drafted though! Even my first tries at drafting a Lutterloh pattern have resulted in patterns that really fit together where they are supposed to, an excellent pants curve, and they seem quite a lot like a Burda. I find myself flipping through the book a lot! We'll see how much I get done of all my plans...;)
Have you thought about putting any of your info into an ebook? Like Adobe reader or a Word doc. Nice to share your skills and things. Hundreds at showmemyebooks.com
