That's an XL on my Medium Body
Clone Dressform, so don't judge the fit please - but
I created this from scraps of other projects. The
pattern is Peony from Revisions - by Diane Ericson.
Look closely at the lapel -
free motion stitching echoing the embroidered linen
motif:

Here is
how I did it: To transfer the
pattern for free motion 'quilting'..... I learned
this technique from April Dunn years ago.
1. Do a "rubbing" with pencil
side on tissue paper of the motif on the embroidered
linen
2. Drop feed dogs at unthreaded machine and trace
the tracing to punch holes in the tissue. Here is
how mine looks.....

3. Make a 'pouncer' of a loosely woven fabric scrap
with Chalkoner Refill powder in it - rubber band to
hold closed. Lay pattern with holes in it now over
the fabric (right side) and pounce so powder shows
up on fabric where holes are in tissue.
4. Pad with scrap of quilt batting and proceed to
free motion with monofilament thread
