This episode is snippets from this week. I made some jackets and lots of plans. I'm looking forward to doing loads of beading during Vlogmas, so I had to make the jackets first.
Happy sewing!

fabric haul 👗 cute vintage prints
Переглядів 1564 години тому
It's time for another fabric haul! I've been really good and haven't bought any fabric since the middle of the year. I've just been using up the fabrics I have in my fabric stash but these vintage holiday prints were just too adorable. I had to get a few of them. Happy sewing!
beading the Pineapple jacket 🍍 S9124
Переглядів 4219 годин тому
Last episode I made this jacket out of golden satin fabric. This episode I bead it. Once all the base layer of beading is done I decide that it looks sort of like a pineapple and add some pineapple beads to the back. I love them! 🥰🎨🍍🧥🍍 Happy sewing!

I made another version of the Simplicity S9124 jacket. The Daisy jacket was too baggy. The Lobster jacket was too cropped. This one is almost just right. I really like the look of the satin fabric. It frays a lot when you are working with it, which is annoying, but now that it's done I quite like it. Happy sewing!

    I feel like I’m not getting something here…I love your commentary and observations, but in regards to the fashion, and the comparison to ‘similar styles’ and using your own examples…that’s where you start to lose me. Madonna in the hotel room, the iconic jacket, the suitcase, that STYLE just has such a distinct aesthetic to it; something dark, mysterious, a bit punk, and in the hotel room it’s like going back in time where there’s asbestos in that damask wallpaper, and everything is so camp…Hollywood decadence and seedy magic clubs… And your comparison is kinda like a JoAnn fabrics, cotton, quilting floral print that looks like it would be more comfortable on bedding from a farmhouse in Montana… This was also the 80’s, with all the tulle and sequins, and SYNTHETIC fabric, and shiny silvers, and green and black zebra stripes, because the 80’s just screamed, “I want everything, and in all colors, and shiny, and sloppy, and coloring outside the lines, and being WILD! And in Neon, of course.” I’m really loving your video- it’s fun and nostalgic! But the 100% cotton, safe, repeating, farmhouse wallpaper patterns…I’m not getting it. Where is the plastic, tinfoil, and skulls!?

    • @PerfectJacket
      @PerfectJacket 10 днів тому

      Thanks. If you're making your first jacket, something with less pattern pieces might be easier, like Burda 6123. Once you wear one jacket you've made, you get a much better idea of what you would like to change. The V7975 is a great pattern but it is a little advanced. As soon as you make the mock-up and put it on, if the back is too tight, you will feel it immediately. You slit the seam where it's too tight and pin it back together so that it fits, then adjust the pattern. Once you've fixed one problem, then you can go onto the next. The order is sleeves, then back, then shoulders, then bust, then hips. If you do it in the wrong order, you'll get stuck in a loop of having to go back and re-adjust each thing.

    • @PerfectJacket
      @PerfectJacket 10 днів тому

      The princess seams at the front help the front pieces go around your bust. Most jacket patterns also have 3 pieces on the back to shape the jacket around your shoulder blades but this jacket just has more ease on the back. I prefer V7975, but this pattern is easier to sew together. Burda 6123 is also a simple to sew together jacket pattern.

I did find this really interesting because looking at those large flat sequins I would have zero idea what to do with, but she came up with such creative ways to use ‘em. My favorite bead store used to be in San Diego but they went out of business about ten years ago. It had beads and jewelry, most,y silver and semi precious stones.

    Making casual jackets in denim. Duffle style loop and toggle fastenings work well. (Plastic) toggles are available in colours - use blue if you don't want them to be too obvious. Or frog fastenings (stitched down intricately looped braid or cord). To jazz up plain buttons - experiment by adding smaller buttons on top, perhaps turned upside down if they have holes rather than a stemmed shank underneath. Use different colours. E❤
