Jane is helping Vicki design a Chanel style jacket.  The first step is to get a perfectly fitted muslin.  The sleeve is made of three pieces, and the sleeve cap is fitted exactly.   Then the muslin garment is removed, taken apart, and the muslin is used as the pattern.  The wool is cut from the muslin pattern with large seam allowances.  In the last two photos you can see the muslin pattern on the cut wool which is now being used as the pattern to cut out the lining.
