Hello lovely people.
THis week I've been sewing. Winter is coming, but in Los Angeles, it's about 70 degrees. Sigh. Still, I'm making progress on my jacket wardrobe and I thought I'd show you the progresses.
If you've been on my Facebook page, you've seen progress of this jacket. I did some cording decoration on the pockets to give the black jacket some more texture. I'm really concentrating on solids right now.
It's not perfect but I think it's a good try for my first attempt.
My next jacket is one for dyeing.
I cut out this cotton corduroy and was able to put it together in about a day.
Here is the new pocket design.
Once the jacket was together, I plan to finish it later once it's dyed.
For the sleeves on this jacket, I added a bit of gather at the shoulder to square out that silhouette.
I'm really happy with it and think it will look really nice green :)
That's it for me right now. Hope sewing is going well for you guys.
Have a great day!!
I am very fond of jackets and think your black one if gorgeous, very elegant. The high set pockets add a 'quirky' touch and the cord edging and buttons make it interesting without losing the classic simplicity. It could also be mistaken for genuine 30's jacket, I could easily picture it in an old 30/40s movie.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see what the white one looks like after you have dyed it.
I love the black jacket, so simple, so understated elegance. The buttons are a particularly nice detail. I hope the green jacket comes out just like you plan.
