Hello Hive

As we proceed into the year there has been more series of heavy downpour and the weather keeps getting colder.
We have had more rains this year than any others I have known, the rain is good for food productions talking about farming but for some of us with health challenges the cold weather is a trigger we have to watch out for.

I have to stay warm to stay healthy, having sewn one or two jacket for myself in the past, it was just about time to sew another one and this time I do not want a boring jackets.
Something a little fashionable and can be worn both as an outfit and to keep me warm as well.

My choice of fabric will determine what kind of Jacket I sew.
I got fed up of the regular plain or single color jackets. You have seen a plain blue, black white or even yellow jackets.
But how about jackets in flowery patterns fabrics, this is not really an office suit but more like an after blouse where you get to put on a camisole underneath and you can see just how I have achieved that.

I got these flowery fabrics, cut out the back bodice here.

And proceed to slash the front block.
The neckline doesn't have to be a deep one so I cut out a dimension of

2.5" width by 1" depth for the back
2.5" width by 2" depth for the front.

The normal basic sleeve was cut here since I do not have enough of the fabric to make any dramatic sleeve.

Next was the sewing phase on the machine.

And then I want some finishing touches of plain navy blue around the neckline and front block.

And it was time to have fun with some photography, am happy that I can stay warm in some lovely jackets.
