Another Jacket

 T

 I have a lot of fun with Marcy's patterns. Most of the time they are a challenge with all of her pieces. I had some cotton knit and then purchased another cotton print knit in Scotland and they matched. I didn't have enough of one, so combining them worked. The pattern was not meant for knits, but it worked well. I didn't use the facings and just served the edges.

I used variegated thread on the serger and a friend gave some buttons from her stash.

Vest

I actually made this last winter, but never got it photographed. I had a piece of wool that I had gotten from a  estate sale and it fit perfectly for this vest.

 I had some trim that I had bought in France that I used on the front and the pockets.

 I had some gold braid that I added to the shoulders and back seam.

 I put the pockets  welts in not the same place on each side, so added buttons to the top of one side and the bottom of the other side. Then I hoped the viewers eye would go to the buttons instead of noticing that they were not in the same place on each side. Our mistakes do push us to get out of our boxes.

 I made my own bias for the inside seams and armhole.

The pattern comes in at the bottom and I brought it out about two inches so it wouldn't fit so tight around the legs.

Camp Shirt

 I used this pattern which I have used before.

 I shorten it.

 Has a nice pleat in the back.

 Used a accent fabric for the inside yoke and collar band.

 Added a sleeve tab.

Added a couple of pockets.

Kantha Jacket

 I used Kathryn Brenne's Vogue 9217 pattern again. I really like this jacket. I used the pants as well in some raw silk that I dyed.

 Here is the back.

 The collar and front facing with buttons.

A turned sleeve.

Paris T-Shirt

 This is the Mandy Boat Tee from Tessuti which is a free download. I bought this fabric from Marcy Tilton's Fabrics.

The pattern runs small. I had to add 2" on the sides.

Another Purse

 This is a purse that a friend made and I love it so much.

I copied the pattern and made up my own version. You will have to click on it to see more detail.

Diane Ericson's Raven Bag Pattern

 My version of Diane's bag. I used some of my dyed fabrics and my hand painting on silk.

This is the back and put a pocket inside. I think it will be fun to use.
