I'm studying them until I get my pattern and fabric. I know it's going to take quite a bit of time, but I'm willing to invest time in a garment that will never go out of style.

I ...I made a similar jacket from the same pattern. I found it was tough to take apart the scraps to make trim. Most of the fibers are not long enough to do much with. And I didn't have time to "unweave" alll that fabric. I used the fringed selvedge as trim and backed it with solid ribbon. The ribbon made the colors in the fringe pop. You could also look for yarn in those colors and braid that instead. It would be easier than taking apart all that fabric. Just a suggestion. The jacket looks great! tcsewhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086296324564857758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-23661697358015155802013-01-21T13:41:28.014-08:002013-01-21T13:41:28.014-08:00Beautiful as with all your projects!

I can't wait to see it finished and how you plan to make it one of your fabulous outfits!<br /><br />I'm doing a lot of cutting this weekend, so hopefully I can get something done soon. :)<br /><br />My fabric is cheap swap meet stuff, so it won't compare to your amazing fabric (see below). But, I'm still a beginning sewer and nervous to buy expensive stuff. It's like when I started to drive and didn't want to use my parent's new car, just the beat-up old one that didn't make me nervous!<br /><br />http://vintagezest.blogspot.com/2013/01/fabric-shopping-weekend.htmlDiane @ Vintage Zesthttp://vintagezest.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-50211762221539190992013-01-20T10:34:26.885-08:002013-01-20T10:34:26.885-08:00Oh I so agree with you about taking on challenging...Oh I so agree with you about taking on challenging projects!

Its either that I am too lazy or too busy but you have inspired me to start sewing again I have just been purchasing patterns but I have difficulty finding fabrics that I like here in Barbados to do what I want (not an excuse not to start but a deterrent). I have purchased all your patterns so far (again my lazy / busy nature I have not started to execute but I plan to). What I would absolutely love to see a tutorial of is that high waist pencil skirt OOP print pattern that you feature previous - I have been searching for a skirt pattern and I am in love with that. But do continue to the great work you are doing, you are truly and inspiration to me and I am sure to others who follow you and read your blog.<br />May God continue to bless you and guide your path.<br />lsn246https://www.blogger.com/profile/06533098497746349953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-37361442253932119642013-01-20T07:06:45.848-08:002013-01-20T07:06:45.848-08:00Wow, that sleeved side looks so wonderful!
