Ellen's Sewing Passion

This was my last task for the Origami course by Shingo Sato, and I had to make a jacket of the project! You can see how I made the  Reticular Origami Sleeve  if you like.  I decided to make a jacket with peplum. This is how the finished project looks like. I had to make another front- and a back-part, and another sleeve. I also made a double peplum from the waist. I made facing around the neck and the front. The peplum is made of double layer. I have used shoulder pads as well. I have used micro-satin as lining for the jacket. The jacket is finished and I have used a hook with a little "diament" at the waist.

This was my final task at the origami course that I attended. This looks like a spidernet, and it's a bit sophisticated. After cutting it apart I added space between the lines for the foldings. I had to make it very exactly to match the corners for each part. This is the firts step, and how it looks like on the wrong side. Next step is finished. Then the whole project is finished, but I have to make the other half of the jacket too! 😅 I'm very Happy to receive my Origami Master Certification!  

Jacket with two different Sleeves! This is an origami techniquie that I have used both for sleeves and a body. You can use the pleats up-folded up like here or down-folded, so there are two different choices. This is the pattern on the right side, - and on the wrong side. The pattern is folded up and cut with 0,5 cm seams. The pattern is folded on the fabric, and then sewn one fold at the time. To make a two different color sleeve you have to sew the fabric toghether first  so you know where the pattern should be. This is the wrong side when the pattern is folded.  The sleeve is ready to be sewn toghether. Both sleeves is finished, and I have used the same pattern. I made the front with a pocket for the jacket.  The sleeves are sewn toghether. Collar has to come. Jacket is finished and I think is will be nice to use when the weather is getting warmer! It's a vintage pattern from Miss B 02/1992.
