Jacket - Butterick B5926

Hello!

I have finally done the jacket from Butterick B5926.

I have pick up from pattern B. Also I have done a little shorten the length as that fabric used for Jacket was not enough for full length.

Also I have added lining .. phew..

In the instruction, they didn't say the collar needs edge - however without the edge stitch on the collar, it looked not 'stayed'. 

I actually struggled attach collar many times.. (;_;) I have checked other people's blogs who made the same jacket but they all said 'easy'. It was not easy for me...

Anyway, this is my first jacket with collar - it looks ok. I will wear it! Definitely!

Have a nice evening,

Spring Tops

Hello!

It's already May. But my coriander is not growing well... They need more sunshine!

I always wish the sunny day will be coming soon, so I have made the spring tops.

And another tops I made.

They are slightly different. The 1st one has slip the side for more active movement.
The 2nd one has s little longer back as covering the bottom(just a little).
I have mede them for wearing the jeans - wearing for shopping in local.

The original pattern is from 'Lotta Jansdotter Everyday style' book.

When I saw this page, I decided to make the same one! :D
Lovely casual style.

The author is design the garment. Her site is selling her designed fabric as well.
All patterns are designed easy sew. You can make within 3 hours. (but as I have modified pattern, I spent 2 days.. I made mock top for checking the body fit.. )


My next project? I am making a jacket.. hoo hoo hoo!

Have a nice sewing!

Making a skirt without pattern

Hello,

This is the 2nd post today - yes, I have a relaxing time and nothing to do today.. :D

I have found my drawing which I was planning to post 'how to make a skirt without pattern'.
So! I uploaded this today..

About inserting the elastic to skirt, I have found the very good tutorial on web. It's here. ;-)

After that, you can just sew the hem approximately 1 or 2 cm.

Have a nice evening!
