Latest project :D

Thought I would share - this is the latest thing to appear out of hte sewing room. 3 days of scratching my head as I have never done tailored sleeves and stuff before. Am really happy with it though and shall be wearing it lots

Supposed to be made in wool but I don't like wool so used a nice medium denim and lined it with designer fabric

That's brilliant!!! Can you reverse it?? Show that gorgeous lining off!!! Sue xx

Thanks Susie

I wish it could be reversed thinking abotu it now lol

The fabric in the lining totally screams "dress" to me though so I am gong to try to locate some more as it was imported from the States.

Alexander Henry fabric is my favourite though and I have to add a little of his fabric to every project I do - it is kind of my signature I suppose

I love that so much

That looks really great. Very professional, the lining is wonderful and I love the purple and black dress in the background.

Lovely

I love it when jackets have fancy linings, it's like a little secret. I have a plain black suit with a crazy purple and yellow lining..... makes me smile thinking about it when I am dressed all plain.

Also love the dress in the background

Thanks everyone

I adore funky linings too - makes everything so much more colourful and fun!

The purple and black dress was something I made for fun, sold it to a client for a special event but she fell sick last minute so I gave her a refund and kept it!

May put it back up for sale eventually though

I love the lining, it's so unexpected!! You'll have to flash to people now! (Not literally!!) It's a really nice jacket. What sort of buttons are you going to use?

I saw the first couple of piccies and thought that's neat and then I went 'wow' to the next ones, really a surprise, excellent. Wouldn't mind one in black or white too! Talking about linings, my mum's family are Portuguese/Welsh and at my uncle's funeral our cousin wore a suit lined with the national flags of these countries, like you said, he flashed every now and again too!!!

Thanks DEbbie, Netty

I am using a slate effect button for the jacket - 3 on each cuff and then 8 on the front - kind of double breasted but only 4 functioning.

I wore it this morning to go the shop and got some odd looks when the lining went on display hehe
