I began the pattern fitting process for By Hand London-Victoria Blazer. I am using a pink and black silk fabric that I have had in my stash for a number of years. You can see it in the photo below. This is from 2010.
The pattern has a large amount of ease as noted on the finished bust/waist and hip measurements. I cut a size 12 that may prove to be larger width wise than I want. Several reviewers indicated that the pattern runs large.
I will be using a black lining that also has been in my stash for sometime.
More updates later.

Oh,such beautiful fabrics. This looks like a fun project.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Coco. I wear a lot of black and thought that this will give a pop of color.
DeleteEgads! I think some of those fabrics reside in my sewing collection! Good luck with the new jacket.
ReplyDeleteI know that you and I have bought the same fabrics from time to time. There is a very good chance that these as well as some others are in both of our collections.
