Gail's trial Jacket and Cape.

The Jacket...

The stages of assembling the cut out pattern. Made in Dark Green Faux Suede with double back darts, front bust darts and sleeve darts.

Checking all the pattern pieces are correct and have the necessary darts sewn.

Then sewing the front and neck facings, the front darts then sewing the fronts to the back.

Assembling the sleeves before sewing the sleeves onto the jacket.

Completed Jacket.

And now the Cape...

The cape made from sequinned organza in a Dark Fushia colour.

All the cut out pieces are laid out to be checked then the front darts sewn, the facings sewn before the garment is assembled to the finished product. A Frog closure is added at the top to complete the cape.

...Of course I did get some help from my little fur Angel Honie Princess... She sits right next to me watching that I am sewing all the seams straight and listening to some relaxing music as we sew.
