I can’t believe it has been a month since my last post. I have been sewing, but nothing photoed. Here’s what I started today:
Sew Lisette is hosting a Sew-A-Long this week for her new pattern B6169 View A Moto Jacket. I dug through my stash and found two maroon separating zippers one in 18″ and one in 20″ and matching rayon lining. I have no idea when and why I bought these items (love stash-busting!). After digging around, I came across this poly-suede with a fuzzy burnout/shiny finish. Here’s hoping it survives the approved washing method! If it doesn’t, I have some black denim that I will swap out. Here’s a better idea of what the red really looks like:
Now, why this and not spring? I’m going to Brazil for June and July (South American winter)! I’m going for 6 weeks with no central heating at my in-laws house. I decided to plan a few travel pieces around a new jacket since everything I’ve made lately has been “work.” I was inspired by so many “New York” style travel wardrobes from pattern reviews contest that had lots of black (a mother’s favorite color). More coming soon!
Lovely fabric – hope it washes well! Can’t wait to see what else you sew up for your trip! xx del
Looking forward to seeing it sewn up! Lucky you, having such great fabrics stashed away!
Hehe! My husband doesn’t think its so great, but I just can’t resist great fabric on sale!
