Hooray on a truly fabulous jacket. On...Dear Jenni,<br /><br />Hooray on a truly fabulous jacket. Once you deal with that lapel, you've got a winner. A modal top with a cami underneath would be warm enough I bet, and with minimal bulk. Plus, you're getting thinner: I can tell in the photos! <br /><br />Congratulations all around,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-22747136636658305962011-10-23T11:32:24.418-04:002011-10-23T11:32:24.418-04:00Wow, that turned out to be absolutely darling! Ma...Wow, that turned out to be absolutely darling! Maybe I spend too much time shopping with my teenagers, but I don't think the front looks that odd. There are some crazy combinations of layers on the store mannequins these days. The flare on the skirt is really nice too.<br /><br />Too bad about the ease. That's just the kind of miscalculation I would make. Hopefully you'll still have plenty of opportunities to wear it, because it looks great on you.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430424732183387900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-69811849188241018032011-10-23T09:01:07.070-04:002011-10-23T09:01:07.070-04:00Verdaera - Thank you.

I used that technique when making my husband's frock coat. I haven't a clue why I didn't think of it this time. Thanks for reminding me, I knew there was something missing. And thank you for commenting on my blog. I love it when new voices show up in the comments!<br /><br />Sabine - Seriously...a museum piece!?! ha!ha! You are too kind. But really, I thank you for the compliment. If it wasn't for encouragement, I think I would give up sewing.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894247974983793889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-58966194729615505172011-10-23T02:17:41.194-04:002011-10-23T02:17:41.194-04:00It's so beautiful, Jenni!

The quilting is stunning!<br />And although you might be right that it looks a bit unusual in combination with modern clothing first, I do hope you'll wear this often!!!<br /><br />Sabine<br /><br />P.S. Don't worry, the next project surely lurks in some book or website already, just waiting to hop into your attention;)Kleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-44488051592581500842011-10-22T16:14:29.600-04:002011-10-22T16:14:29.600-04:00Gorgeous, I love the quilting details!
For the la...Gorgeous, I love the quilting details!<br /><br />For the lapel, you may want to put in a roll line. Because your inner fabric rolls over your outer fabric, technically it is made a little shorter than your outer fabric (or more of your outer fabric is on the inside of the lapel, forcing it to stick out). If it's convenient, your outer fabric should be about 1/8" smaller than the inner, to eliminate the bulk. Google roll lines too, it might be easier than me explaining... basically, while on the dummy, you play with the collar til it lies smooth, pin, and stitch a basting line under the lapel, about 1/4" from where it folds over. Your fabric will look shifted a bit when laying flat, but will keep it rolled nice when on you. As a last resort, you can always add a little swingtack to keep it from straying too far from your body. :) Hope that helped!Verdaerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623257976488143439noreply@blogger.com
