The most difficult part of the jacket was matching the print. I don't brag very often, but I will this time. This is a picture of the front. I barely can see the pins.
I'm off to do buttonholes! I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!!

JAM #2 is Coming
Unfortunately, it's still February in my sewing room. I'm still working on my #2 jacket, M3750. It's a simple, loose fitting jacket. If I hadn't decided to add side pockets and a lining, I would have been wearing it by now. I like the additions so I week late is all right by me. This picture was taken on the last day in February. I had the lining and buttonholes/buttons to finish. As of today, the lining is finished. I drafted the lining using Claire Shaeffer's "High-Fashion Sewing Secrets". Thanks Rachel for directing me to that resource. Claire's directions worked like a charm.

This is looking good,Rose. I so want to call you "Rosie"! Love that red paisley. Looks like it will turn out to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis jacket is coming along nicely - I think you are right to take a little more time to get it exactly how you want it. I love your beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on jacket #2 and preparing to start #3. My plant is just to make sure I have 12 jackets done by the end of the year. Great matching of the pattern.
