This is Vogue 8795 and it was SO much fun. Great pattern that lends itself to a lot of creativity. My pea brain cannot process the color brown without trying to finagle a way to get orange next to it so...I serged my seams in orange as a decorative element and also decorated the zipper tape with a pop of it.
I gave kudos to Sew4Fun on my PR for doing all the fitting on this for me. I so wish I was like her...tracing my patterns and making beautiful new pieces with all of my changes noted and alterations incorporated within the new pattern piece. Sadly, I didn't come into this world with that gene. I'm more of a "start drawing with a Sharpie then go at it with my rotary cutter" sort of girl. I'm learning to embrace that trait. Anyway, we both arrive at the result we want so...

Here is a close up of the double zig-zag stitching on the zipper tape and the serged edges in what else? Orange!

ReplyDeleteLove your jacket and the touch of orange. I just found your blog via Goodbye Valentino and we share a couple locations as I live in Atascocita (just NE of Houston) and I grew up in Webster Groves, MO - small world, eh? I also share your coloring and simply love your fabric choices. Do you belong to ASG or other sewing organizations in the area?
