| Burda 8300 |
Completed my boiled wool jacket last night. Used Burda 8300.
I wanted the jacket to look casual, so I turned the S/A to the right side. Just could not get the seams to sit flush with the jacket so I sewed them down. The fabric was stretchy and fragile so I decided to interface the entire jacket with black. Because the blue bits were falling off, and I may need to do repairs I decided not to line it.

Oh, I really like what you did with this unusual fabric. Leaving the edges raw and sewing the seams to the outside were brilliant ideas. They give this coat a very edgy, current look. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI think you look fantastic! Oh, yeah, the jacket looks terrific, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteI posted a comment here last week but it vaporized. I'm not good at deciphering those numbers and letters so that may have been the problem.
ReplyDeleteI think your jacket is beautiful and agree with everything Dixie and Sewing Geek said. You certainly used the fabric to its best advantage and accomplished such a couture edgy look. And the dark sapphire blue is definitely your color. It's perfect all around.
Wow, Cherylanne, your jacket is wonderful. It's a very couture look and it looks great on you. I love the way you've styled it with the leggings and boots (with I could pull that off!).
