Now Sewing..

Autumn-winter sewing

I'm currently working on a linen blazer and trousers. The fabric has been sitting in the stash for over 4 years and I've always made some excuse not to start the project. I'm quite proud of the flaps in the welt pockets., the first time I've done it. Took almost an hour to do the first one. The second went much quicker. The lining has been hand stitched and I'm now doing pick stitch around the edges. Slow progress but it was a welcome distraction from yesterday's nasty weather. Shoulderpads and sleeves next.... . #sewover50 #so50jackets #sewingismytherapy #sewingwip #sewinglinen #sewcialists #sewyourstash

My jacket is finally finished. Finding suitable buttons was really hard and after trying every shop in a 100km radius, these were the best I could find. I love how the pattern worked out on the sleeve. Patten: Vogue 1644 #sewover50 #sewcialists #isewmyownclothes #v1644 #vougepatterns #so50jackets #sewingproject

Willy wagtail nest. Spring is here!

Progress for the day - body is together and hem is basted in place. Still not sure if the fabric works. What do you think? Yay or nay? #sewover50 #sewingwip

This weekend I hope to make progress on this jacket. The fabric is a jacquard with a fairly large pattern repeat which is giving me a lot of grief in how I cut it out. It's been a very slow processes. Back in May, I'd planned to make the Itch to Stitch Hvar jacket but the muslin was really ill-fitting. So the project stalled until I could find another pattern that only required 1.6m of fabric. Enter Vogue 1644. Muslin done and I'm now cutting out. I've had to cut, or recut, each piece individually to break up the pattern. Very slow going and at this stage I'm not sure how it will pan out. Hope to have the body section together by the end of the day. Wish me luck. #sewover50 #sewingwip #sewcialists

My silk knit jacket is finished and I love it. The pattern is Lekala 4965. This will definitely be a favourite to wear. I've used a magnetic brooch rather than a button to vary the look. This pattern didn't appear to be adjusted for you height, so check that in the preview pattern. I ended up taking 10cmof the length and adjusting the collar point to get the look more like the model photo. . #sewover50 #sewingwithsilk #lekalapatterns #so50jackets #isewmyownclothes
