A mini success!! The big lump in the back of the outfit large enough to cover Quasi Modo's hump has been tamed. I took apart the back from the sides all the way up to the top of the shoulder and re-sewed by hand. I was quite worried before this because the pattern that I had cut had an even bottom hem--but the big lump in the back shortened the length of the jacket's back edge by about 1/4 of an inch. I didn't know how I was going to sew on the belt with such a big gap but now the bottom hem is even all the way around. Whew--what a save. I am so glad I didn't have to start all over.
