Do you get days where you want to go and sew, but for some reason you just can't get to the machine and do it. I was like that Monday and Tuesday this week, which was really annoying as I wanted to get on, but just couldn't get motivated - I think all the weekend's activities wiped me out.
I had to do my 120 mile round trip to the office today (yuck) but forced myself upstairs to do just a little more work on the jacket, and quilted one front piece and one side front piece. I looked at my copy of the Threads magazine issue 121 which gives quite a good article on "Inside Secrets of a Chanel Jacket", just to check that I was doing it right. I think I am, well sort of.
Once the remaining pieces are quilted, I need to trim back the seams ready to hand stitch the lining pieces together - but that will be another day.
My lining hasn't got a green tinge in the middle - its something weird with the lighting!!!
Catch you later....................

Love how your jacket is coming along. When you quilt the lining, what are you quilting the lining to?
ReplyDeleteRejoice -- the gluing is done on the black dress. What a lot of work.
The quilting looks very good. And I love the way you show your pictures in recent posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd the darker trim is my favorite.
