Ouf enfin terminée!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've worn it this afternoon. I can say it is very pleasant to wear and light as a feather. What I like best is the lining ...
and the functional sleeve vents and hand buttonholes
Nevertheless,though I made a muslin and I am not happy with the sleeve heads. I supposed it is because the sleeves are not from the same pattern as the bodice. The shoulders shoud be shorter I think, too bad realy. Another explanation is perhaps that the shoulders seams elongated because they have not been staystiched. This has just occured to me. Anyway I will have to do with this. I will try not to think about this when I wear the jacket. Here is what it looks like seen from the back
Here are some more shots.I don't know if will wear this jacket a lot, but I learned a tremendous amount of things in the making. The whole experience was a challenge I enjoyed every minute. I wisht to thank Cindy and Antoinette for organizing this stitch along. I would love to renew that type of sal with another garment. I know that I would probably not have completed the jacket witout this blog.
I think you should be pleased with the results. The lining is exquisite. I had a similar problem with the sleeve heads on mine. I agree that stay stitching would help, but in my case my pattern called for shoulder pads - definitely not Coco.

RépondreSupprimerAbout the Patrones fiesta, there's even more great stuff besides that little blue dress, as soon as I get my copy I'll post pic's.
If you wanna take a sneak peak there's a site called Stoff-Art, when the page opens click Artikel on the sidebar on the left, then pick Patrones and Knipmode from the right side and you'll get to the page where she sells Patrones and kKnip, there isn't many pics but oh my there's a dark olive dress that prolly is even better than this one:)
Even if you are not completely happy with the jacket you should wear it proudly since it is very beautiful.
