And voila! The finished product! In this photo, you can see the beautiful paisley lining peeking out, and the bias trim that separates the lining from the facing.
As you can see, this is a very fitted jacket- so the time spent initially in class for fitting was pivotal to the finished product. The bright navy is a great color to mix with the rest of my wardrobe.
Here’s a view of the FUNCTIONAL SLEEVE VENT! Because we’re fancy like that. You can also see the iridescent glass buttons, which I adore!
As with any sewing project, I used this as a learning experience. I think the most important thing I learned during this class was:
*It’s imperative to utilize tailoring equipment during the process; using the sleeve roll and tailor’s ham to thoroughly press my seams throughout would have resulted in a smoother finish, and is especially important for a project like this, where fabric really gets sculpted to the body.
*Also, don’t move in the middle of a project- your sewing room gets all jumbled and you can’t find where anything has gotten off to! 🙂
