I always haul a previously made jacket out of the closet so I can look at it, more than the instructions even. This is one I get a lot of wear out of, made of a pale lilac pinwale cord.
Here are all the pieces ready to be assembled, after I have ironed on the interfacing. I decided to go with the black interfacing, to be one less colour in the palette. The interfacing occasionally shows, like when the front facings flip out in a wind or something.
Here are the pieces as I've started to assemble them. I've made this jacket so many times that I can assemble it out of order (and practically from memory) so that I can make it fairly quickly, sewing a pile of pieces and then ironing them all at once.
These are the two seams on one half of the front and I'm ironing them over after I've clipped one of the seam allowances, so I can make the flat fell. Onwards!
Your jacket is great and your spirit even more so . Words are such inadeqaute things except in the hands of some great poets . I will therefore say no more other than may your Christmas be what you want to be Isnt sewing just the best thing!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mem. I wish you the best for the holidays too.
ReplyDeleteDear Pro. Ringma
ReplyDeleteWe miss you in the college too.
I heard you are travelling in Europe and wish you good time in your trip. I would like to buy your book if it is available for the purchase.

Hey Mansuer! It's always good to know I am missed! No I'm not travelling - I am too busy being sick from the chemo treatments. I wanted to go to Europe when I was finished in March but I think I won't be well enough for that. Maybe in the Fall! When my book comes out, I will let people know here and on Facebook and anywhere else I can think of.
ReplyDeleteStudy hard!
Thank goodness for a positive spirit and a new year :)
