I have not had much inspiration lately to continue with the spring jacket I started some time ago. I had to stop with the jacket when I had some trouble finding the right coloured lining and while I was looking for it I found much more inspiring things to do.
I've already made atleast three mistakes with it. First of all I had the fabric op-shopped years ago and I did have a bit too little of it. Then I did not understand the pattern fully and cut way too little pieces from the fabric. In the end that resulted that I had to cut one piece in different thread direction than others. So now when all other parts have the fabric pattern going to the top right the one piece has the pattern going to the top left. A said that is fine and no one will notice and I do agree with him, but I'm still annoyed. Also since I'm now truly run out of the fabric and I would still need small pieces of it for the lining, I need to figure out something else. I know I will be able to do something, just don't know what yet.
So the point of me showing you this project at this stage is to get me back on track. Next time you see this I hope it's ready and spring has not passed.
Love the yellow zipper detail. You can finish the rest, I know you can!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement!
DeleteThat looks like a serious sewing project! I really like the pop of yellow with the zipper- can't wait to see the end product.
ReplyDeleteIt is the most difficult sewing project I've done maybe ever. I have done some tricky ones too but in this all seams need to also look good, just to have it working is not good enough.
DeleteThat is going to be such a cute jacket! I also love the yellow zipper, those pretty, unexpected details are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christina. I too am a big fan of funny details.
