Good luck with the course Manuela. My should be quick jacket is on hold, domestic emergencies and waiting for supplies of bits and pieces. I  managed to cut out some trousers for dd from a tnt pattern after doing a smaller size strike off.

While youre on the site, take a look at the freebies in the technical notes section. I got one on shoulder pads, there might be something of interest.

What a busy lot we are - so many completely different projects! I'll be thinking of you all toiling away while I sew, like being in a virtual sewing bee.

Agreed, but I don't think I could get away with such an extreme low bit in the skirt, and I wonder how
tum-bulge friendly the asymmetric lines around the body would be. I'm happy to see some indie patterns with a bit of je ne sais quoi though, instead of the bland and basic so many end up offering.
If I didn't have more than enough tailored jacket patterns to see me out I'd try theirs - looks good, and that one is age friendly.

Nice shape!

This is going to be so good Manuela.
 The 'trapeze' or tent like shape is not hard to draft from a basic block or shift dress shape. You can swivel all of the bust dart into the waist area and down to the hem which creates some flare, and slash the pattern from hem to shoulder, as well as adding flare on the CF/CB, until you get the hem fullness you want. The M&M dress doesn't have much, I think you'd need a bit more. These tend to hang best if the side seams are angled roughly the same on back and front. The curved hi-lo hem can be drawn in once the tent shape is drafted, and the section below that just has to match on the seam but can be angled in by the reverse process (slash and overlap instead of slash and spread. The scallops on at least one of the dresses appear to overlap the lower skirt.
I think the two dresses have similar, but not identical, construction.

Very special. The fabric is lovely. I went through a phase of making night to daywear pjs, when the dog was at puppy stage. (Like the pajama mums on the school run). If the fabric is right, I reckon it's ok. If you scroll down on this blog http://thatsnotmyage.com/ to July 26th post there's an outfit which is quite similar to pjs.

Wide end to point here. I've tried the bobbin thread method but just got a mess, must have been doing something wrong. I prefer that direction because I usually shape the dart and find it easier to visualise that way round. To finish the end I like stitch the last few stitches with a teeny stitch length. This can then be snipped close and doesn't unravel. You have to be certain that you've got the position right though as it's nearly impossible to unpick.
