Sewing The Jacket

Fun Fun ....I have got a lot of sewing done! Compared to last time anyway... I still have to keep almost sewing everyday to get it done in time for my 4-h fashion review. It will be held May 30th.

Getting on with the pictures... and what I have been doing all the month of April. Missed out on the other posts? Go  here (sewing).

I did a little hand sewing with the black underlining. I sewed it half on and got the corner sewed down on all of the pieces where I had sewn the interfacing to the Velvet. Now there are three layers.

All the pieces got finished, also had to finish up on some markings.

As you can see in the picture above nothing matches up super close; I should not get aggravated about it but I do sometimes...

Next I sewed the darts. I am telling you one important thing to know in sewing is how to sew darts almost everything I have made has had darts.

Finished both darts it looks nice on this side.

Next I sewed the back together with the side back.

Sewing more together with my sewing machine. I did have to hand sew all the pieces together. I learned real fast it would slip. I did have some ripping out to do. I am a very gentle ripper outer so, all is good. It does take a lot of time though.  

All the pieces are together for the main part of the jacket. It looks cool if I do say myself...

What it looks like on the other side. I did do a fitting a little later and had to take in a lot of the seams than rip the old ones out. That was a hole day ( 2 hours)  of cutting out thread. 

I went on to cutting my boning to the right sizes. Than marking them. 

Here I have them in a casing I made, though it was not going to work so I had to get some baste tape; Loved that, it worked so well!

On with the rest of the jacket next time. Once the jacket is done I have a skirt to do, oh and another fun thing... Stay tuned. 

How are your projects going?
