Double peplum faux leather jacket

Knit and fused leather jersey

I used pattern McCall 6658 view B fabrics used are textured knit and fused leather I did not have enough knit to do the whole shirt so starting from the bottom I measured for front and back until I ran out of knit leaving a 3/8 inch seam allowance to attach pieces front and back back piece cut on the fold front top piece  cut next to the back for two front piece followed instruction to assemble and I made a knit and fused leather jersey

Double peplum jacket update

I know I've not finished or updated the post in a long time I've got the sleeves to do and I'm thinking to add a collar I've got the facing cut and sewn together maybe tomorrow she'll be done. Due to my having the flu and my hair clients has put a damper on my finishing my jacket but I've cleared my schedule to do nothing but finish it and take fly pics to post cause the hair is flicking too!!!!!

Random thoughts this morn

Booo no sewing again today!  However I'm doing hair today so that kinda always trumps sewing it's a bomber when your dream is almost done tho. I'm not sure when I'll get back to my jacket the people comin out the woodworks lol but I'm blessed and happy about that too!! Here is a shot of the jacket while it was just basted for fitting purposes

Good morning loves

Yes I'm excited I started working my altered pattern for a jacket yesterday it's turning out good although I cut it too big for myself but I'm gonna a make it work. I plan to add another seam to the back by cutting straight up the back to achieve the fit I'm looking for. I have cut the lining but must take the inches out of it too don't want bulge on the inside to be seen as it is a fitted jacket with princess seam in front and back I'll take pictures when I'm done. I already have it basted together just for fitting purposes so I'll adjust and this time I'll have my fit it is so pretty and the leather feels and looks real. I believe that the last seam on the back will pull it all together wish me luck.

I'll check back in a couple of days

Have blessed day

New venture today

Okay I've called or shall I say text my Loctician waiting for an appointment if that doesn't happen plan B is to track down Vogue Pattern 8815 yes I got MimiG's Mini Peplum Tutorial yes I need to make a couple of those to add to my wardrobe pictures to come soon.
