Jacket with Fringes!
This was quite an adventure for me! I knew that I wanted to sew a jacket of the boucle fabric. I found the right pattern I wanted to use in BurdaStyle issue 02/2013. I put the pattern and the fabric in a closet, and then I forgot it until now...! I have tried to match the fabric at the seams. I read in the instruction that I could make my own fringes, but it was different from last time I made fringes. This time I should use a double layer and sew it to the jacket after the jacket was finished, even with the lining! Since I had already made the fringes I did sew them around the whole jacket. Anyway, I made the fringes for the pockets and around the sleeve hem as in the instruction. I have also used a soft brush and steamed the fringes so they should be more fuzzy. I have to tell that I'm really Happy how it turned out at the end! The wool-jersey skirt is from an earlier project . I have inserted "fish-shoulder pads" I have used "invisible" snap-buttons. Burd...
