Yes, my body is very asymmetrical.
I had glued the base on last weekend & left it to set.
Yesterday I put the fitting on the base & put the base on the stand. Then I covered the form in a dry cleaners bag.
Then comes the cover. First a seam up the back (which I didn't get very straight, oh well), a casing around the bottom and some darts in the side.
Darts:
Then I sewed up the shoulders:
Then a circle hand sewed around the top & it's done.
I put it next to the one I had made before. I weighed about 20 pounds less & it was made about 12 years ago. I have crunched on the left side, which is rather unnerving. Perhaps I should start going for massages to relax the left side of my body.
Next to to make stuff that fits, to get some value from this work!
That looks like an incredible amount of work! I bet it will pay off in spades :)
