Softshell Eden Jacket

Sewist — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 10:00:13 +0000

Ok, I admit I’m not exactly sewing seasonal projects right now! But I have managed to get the Softshell Eden Jacket finished…. and my Mum has already claimed it for herself! I wanted to make the topstitching quite noticeable, so I used some multicoloured Guttermann thread just to liven up the plain navy fabric. Unfortunately […]

Eden jacket – a work in progress

Sewist — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 10:00:46 +0000

I purchased some navy softshell fabric earlier in the year, with the view of making the Kelly coat. Since then, Tilly and the Buttons released the Eden jacket pattern, which looked like it would be more forgiving on the sizing. The sleeves on the Kelly look quite fitting, whereas the Eden has a much more […]

Still working on the faux Jaeger Denim Fashionista

Sewist — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 10:00:55 +0000

It’s taken a while, plus some unpicking when I accidentally stitched the sleeve to the neckline… (yeah, don’t ask how I managed that!) but my denim Fashionista* is looking less like a pile of pieces, and a lot more like a jacket now! The lining was where I came unstuck when I shelved this project […]

Waiting for the rain….

Sewist — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 10:00:00 +0000

….or in other words, I’ve finished my Showerproof Softshell Fashionista jacket! I still haven’t finished my denim version of the Fashionista*, but this softshell jacket has come out looking fantastic. I found some buttons which fitted well with the blue, and was planning on using some smaller ones on the cuffs. Unfortunately the bulk of […]

Showerproof non-denim Fashionista Jacket UFO

Sewist — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 10:00:17 +0000

I fully admit I’m already starting more projects than I’m finishing this year, but having spotted this softshell fabric in my local fabric shop for £8 a metre, I couldn’t resist getting enough to make a showerproof Fashionista* jacket for the spring! At the moment, my Denim Fashionista is semi-shelved while I figure out where […]

Sleeveless jacket for the allotment

Sewist — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 10:00:52 +0000

It hadn’t ever dawned on me to try making a showerproof jacket to wear on the allotment, but each time I’m working there, it’s almost guaranteed the weather will be either blazing hot sunshine, or showers. I had considered buying a showerproof coat, but after looking at the prices, they all seemed way too expensive […]

The first UFO of 2019

Sewist — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 10:00:09 +0000

Ok, I will admit that I did the very first part of my WinterWear Designs Fashionista* last year, but because I filed it away over Christmas and New Year, I’m counting this as my first UFO for 2019. The Fashionista* has a shaped front yoke which looks really good, but did prove a little challenging […]

Finished Showerproof Shoreline Boatneck

Sewist — Tue, 09 May 2017 09:00:52 +0000

Well, the showerproof jacket is not 100% “finished” as I haven’t added a hood to it, but it’s 90% finished and wearable, so I’m counting that as no longer being a UFO! I ‘hacked‘ the Blank Slate Patterns Shoreline Boatneck to make a button-up shirt, and had the idea of making a showerproof jacket to wear on […]

New Look 6035

Sewist — Tue, 31 May 2016 09:00:53 +0000

I will admit I made this jacket a while ago, but never got around to taking photos of it! New Look 6035 came free with an issue of Sew Home & Style and although the rest of the items look good, I had to try making the jacket first. Rather than risking using a fancy fabric for a […]

K’s New Jacket

Sewist — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 10:16:43 +0000

A couple of months ago, I knitted a jacket for a friend’s baby boy, K; but he grew out of it much faster than I’d allowed for! K’s Mum asked if I could make a larger jacket that would work for the winter. Trouble is, the pattern I used only goes up to 3-6 months, and she […]
