Sunni, I can see why you wore your mom’s jacket to death!! It’s super awesome! You amaze me how you are able to “rub -off” your favorite garments. Do you have a tutorial on your blog for this technique or.. is there a tutorial that you can send me to on another blog?

thanks!

I’m thinking of venturing into the land of make-a-pattern-from-a-favorite-garment as well. Your jacket progress looks great! Good luck finishing it up!

I really like the detail at the back. And the color is lovely, I have a huge crush on blue! I wish one day I will be able to do a rub off. It is really impressive that you are rubbing off a jacket. My mom used to buy clothes from the sears catalogue, do a rub off, and returning the clothes saying she didn’t like it. She was really an amazing seamstress. I wish I learned more from her. Unfortunately, she died when I was 14, but I guess she is proud that I am now learning to sew my clothes, following amazing blogs like yours .

Fabulous!! What is the fabric, a brushed cotton twill? Linings are easy peasy to figure out, just be sure to add some ease and a pleat down the back. And remember, once you have this pattern nailed, you can make it in various fabrics, shorter, longer, velvet, etc. Hardest part is often the first one. Nice job! And a surprise lining is always fun or piping where it attaches to the facings in an obnoxious color (think fuchsia or lime green with the navy)

I’ve always wanted to try a rub off of a jacket! You’re post on how you did the cardigan was a great illustration of this technique, but I’m curious how you handled the sleeves for the jacket?
Your Mom’s jacket is gorgeous! And it looks like yours is coming along quite nicely. I feel like I’m coming around to the “good enough is good enough” mentality with my sewing. Time constraints will really do that to you! I find myself way more happy with fusible interfacing and bagged lining techniques these days rather than handstitching EVERYTHING! Haha!

I love a good classic jacket. The back of this one is particularly lovely, can’t wait to see it finished! =)
