Hi,
I've started with the forepart canvassing. It's a bit wack-a-mole, isn't it? Pull here, pull there. Pull here again. Pull there too!
Oh well, here's the right side:
Not sure what to think of it.
Thoughts, anyone?

After I canvassed the first half, I worked on the other bits and bobs too.
Lo and behold the current status: Foreparts canvassed Front edge turned Back basted in Shoulders marked, basted and shoulder pads basted in too Collar drafted and made Sleeves basted
Collar attached
I'll be over at "The art of fitting" now, there'll be more pictures to look at.
Canvassing is about cleaning the cloth over the canvas and making sure both layers are roughly the same length, without any trapped fullness
I think Rory mentions in one video to check the mark stitches along the break are straight, to ensure you're not letting fullness that should be in the chest escape into the lapel. It looks like that may have happened here but I'm obviously a complete amateur!
