Hello! YEAAAAH I DID IT^^ I managed to finish the lined wool perfecto jacket for my boyfriend before his leaving tomorrow. He's going to spend the next 9 months in France so I wanted to make something warm for him, hence the wool and lining :) It was my first time lining a jacket -and drafting said lining since there wasn't any in the original pattern- of course I forgot a small piece at the shoulders and I had to add 2 patches but it really doesn't show much, I'm so happy! Well, that's relative since I'm awfully sad that my baby is going away, I think I also made the jacket to have something pleasant to think of as his departure was coming nearer. Anyway, here are the pics:
Unzipped front, the red lining is peeking :)
Zipped, and a white piece of thread somehow landed on it, tsssk
The back and the open wrists with the lining showing again.In the meantime I made a little something for me,
Rae's free buttercup bag, the upholstery fabric is Ikea and the lining is white gabardine, I love it! It was easy to make and I can already picture some nice variations for it!
See you and thanks again to all of you who read this blog and/or comment :)

Wow! Nice coat! That looks really warm and wind-breaker-ish. And your purse is cute too =) sorry that your boyfriend is going away, long distance relationships are really hard.
RépondreSupprimerGreat jacket - it looks really good - you must be chuffed. (sad that he's going away though : (
RépondreSupprimerI made a buttercup bag a month or two ago - i use it all the time - it's the perfect size for my purse, keys, phone, lip gloss etc! I love itl Yours looks really good.
Thank you for your nice comments, I hope the jacket keeps him warm and forces him to think of me^^! Phill I checked on your owls bag, so cute!

RépondreSupprimerI had never made a jacket, but you really motivated me. Gotta give it a try.
He must be so happy to wear it everyday and think about you..
Hope the 9 months will pass like a blink;)
