Brightening up my monochromatic wardrobe!
Pattern: Simplicity 3631, View B
Fabric: Faux Suede
Notions: Three Dritz Half Ball Cover Buttons (1 1/2"); lining fabric for seam binding; 4" chain
Description: Jacket has oversized covered button fastenings, cropped cape-like raglan sleeves, and belt.
I cut jacket in a size 16, using a faux suede. This pattern is very easy, even a beginner could have smooth sewing on this. I didn't like the reversed pleats that the instructions suggested, so I made the pleats the "normal" way and topstitched them on the right side. I'm so accustomed to lining my jackets and since a lining was not required for this one, I used a Hong Kong finish for the seams. I found lining fabric in a similar color to the fashion fabric and cut 1" strips on the bias. I sewed these to my seam allowances by stitching 1/4" from the edge, trimmed to a scant 1/8", folded the bias strip over and ditch stitched on the right side. I also decided to go with bound buttonholes. I ran across a fantastic tutorial on the Sew-4-Fun blog... one of the easiest I've seen. I'll be using it for welt pockets also. And for a finishing touch, I added a hang chain to the back. I sewed this in right underneath the back facing. While snoop shopping, I noticed these were prevalent on high-end RTW jackets.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the outcome of this jacket. I feel that I took a simple pattern and transformed it into a designer looking garment.
Made as part of Tabatha's April Challenge. This is the second version as the first was too big. I also lengthened the bodice by 2".

When we step outside and open our eyes, Nature presents us with brilliant colours and inspiring scenery. Such gifts are given freely, all she asks is that we see them.
Autumn is the season where these colours are at their most intense. Get outside and take some pictures! Share the beauty that's local to wherever you are.
This shot was taken in Burnaby, British Columbia, when the leaves had just begun to descend. A lone leaf settled on a shrub, vibrant red against perpetual greenery.

Skirt, vest, bolero, sundress. Awesome. 2 5/8 yards for the dress.
Begun July 1, 2012. Turned out to be the pattern from Hell. I altered the skirt a little for my big hips and it fits perfectly. The bodice, however, is enormous. E-freakin'-normous. As in, "may need to be drafted from scratch" hopeless.
This lined dress with princess seaming has a back zipper, low "V" shaped neckline and jewel trim. Floor length view 1 has long set-in sleeves. Regular length view 2 is sleeveless.

Finally got the invisible zipper sewed in correctly the first time! Woohoo! Next time I need to remember not to sew the facing too close to the zipper teeth.

This dress is from a 1953 Simplicity pattern. I made it from aborder print I bought in the LA garment district ina 2 dollar a yard shop. It's cotton and I added some vintage trim I had on the hem and neckline. I will be blogging about this in a few days. Stop by my blog for a cute Etsy giveaway!
I bought it for yet another version of the baby kimono shirt. Unfortunately the promised 'primer' wasn't inside the envelope.
