Better Late than Never??

Oh dear I am late with the MAGAM challenge AGAIN!!!! This jacket was so hard.  There wasn't a lot in the way of instructions and what there was I didn't understand. So I kind of muddled through it, but got there in the end.  The sleeves were on and off several times, as the easing was so difficult I just couldn't get it flat; so they do have a little bit of gathering that shows. I really didn't enjoy making it at all and am so glad its finally finished. I'm not that pleased with the result but will wear it with my '50s style' dresses. This jacket is being modelled by my new mannequin 'Ella'. She was a gift from my neighbour! and is quite old. I think she is from the 1960's but isn't quite complete as she needs some bits for her stand.

crossover top from Knipmode

Image
This is my first make from my advanced dressmaking course. I bought the material back in 2008 in Leiden, Holland!! It's about time I used it.

The overlocker was so easy to use, I quite fancy one now!! £££ The seams were overlocked and the hems were stitched on my machine using a twin stretch needle. I hand tacked everything but it was worth the result. I'm very pleased with it and it fits very comfortably. The front is a bit low so I bought a camisole top for modesty!!  Thanks for looking Jolanda x

November's Make a Garment a Month Challenge

Image
Hello, I hope you are all having a good weekend. Well, I have finally made a decision and this is the dress I am going to make. It's from a supplement of extra patterns from the October issue of Knipmode. And this is the very busy fabric I am going to use! I'm not that used to such bright patterns, usually staying safe with plain fabrics. So I thought I should start to be a bit more daring and colourful! pop over and see what everyone else is making and join in. Last month's creations are there and they are fantastic. Thanks for visiting Jolanda x
