First major project
Never one to start simple....I'd fallen in love with a stretch sequinned fabric from Tessuti's which has sequins with 2 way colour (black on one side and cream of the other) given the fabric a unique and fun look. I was determined to make a jacket i could wear with jeans and finally I'd settled on Butterick B5498 with version with the longer sleeves.
I spent ages picking sequins off to ensure I had flat easy to sew seams. The pattern itself was very straight forward and I'm happy with the final result. Yet to wear it though.....

Thank you for posting this. I have been looking for a cardi pattern and this one is just perfect - just what I was looking for. Must admit I didn't check Butterick - must do so more often. The sequins material is gorgeous - great to see what can be done with it - great job and will look stunning, day or night.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous! I've always had my eye on this fabric.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging! :)
You have a great eye for fabric! And I LOVE the drape dress. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your dress form. It's beautiful and I haven't found anything like it in my searches.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Johanna
Thanks for everyone's encouraging comments - it's terrific to get the feedback from you.
ReplyDeleteJohanna, I bought the dress form from bay after much web searching. It was exactly what I was looking for so I'm pleased you like it too. I'll post on the whole dress form search since you've asked.
