Ok, I admit I’m not exactly sewing seasonal projects right now! But I have managed to get the Softshell Eden Jacket<\/a> finished…. and my Mum has already claimed it for herself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to make the topstitching quite noticeable, so I used some multicoloured Guttermann thread just to liven up the plain navy fabric. Unfortunately my sewing machine decided to skip stitches at times, so it’s not quite as evenly stitched as I’d hoped. I discovered on a later project that if I used a regular needle rather than a sharps needle, it actually sews an even stitch – just don’t ask me why!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I did purchase some poppers, but I haven’t yet tried adding them – Mum seemed quite happy with the jacket not having popped pocket flaps, and she never uses the poppers on her bought waterproof coat anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The “alien” stage of turning the Eden jacket out – not the easiest of things to do with such thick fabric!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’d never sewn a “proper” coat before, and certainly hadn’t even considered bagging out<\/em> a lining… but it all went surprisingly smoothly, even down to the thread chain to finish it all off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The finishing touch – a thread chain to hold the lining and outer fabric together under the arms (never done one of these before)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t resist using a rainbow zip on the front of the jacket – the front placket does cover it, but it does give a flash of colour when you go to zip it up \/ unzip it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And of course a colourful lining, to make up for the very understated plain dark blue outer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All we need now, is some suitably cold weather so Mum can test it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
