Making An Appliqued Leather Jacket

Күн бұрынA metallic color blocked pieced jacket, who me? Today I'm diving into the pattern drafting, sewing, and finishing behind the green and brown leather jacket featured in my most recent look book Verdigris. I can't wait to make another of these with the oil slick effect material I snapped up from the same shop 🤩

Fashion for Aces: "I don't want to look alluring, I want to look like an insect queen" is the single most asexual statement I've ever heard. I might embroider that onto a pillow, holy shit. :D

I didn't know they were ace and I may or may not have teared up a bit. I think this is the first time I've heard someone verbalize how looking sexy isn't the priority in what would often be considered "sexy" clothes. I like well fitted clothes that make me feel like a supervillain, anyone else's attraction is pure coincidence. Thank you, and happy pride month

I recently made a shirt based on a bodice block I've made for myself for the very first time and it includes a yoke of pintucked panels and a stand collar and I was soooooort of basing it on the blouse you made with the leftover fabric from the carbine gown and it's easily my favourite piece of clothing I've ever made or possibly ever owned. Mostly just reminded of this because I did a stand collar too and not only was it deceptively easy as you say, it is also a fantastic look and I'm gonna be putting stand collars on most things now

Brooks Ann Camper talks about fitting vs design on her blog and other places a bit. She has a graduate degree in costume construction, and *that* is apparently where they teach custom fitting. I think there's only one degree program for this in the entire US. Because fitting to a dress form is all that's needed for the fashion industry, but actors need their costumes to fit them individually.

To use a thicker thread in the bobbin, you need to loosen the tension on the bobbin case. If you're going to make some handbags it's important to use a heavier thread. It can be worth it to buy a second bobbin case so you can have one tensioned for normal thread and another tensioned for your heavy duty stuff.

I'm just at the bit where she talks about looking powerfull and threatening rather than aluring or nice.. and I feel this. I used to be a very blond child. everyone's "sunshine". I never felt like it. and I think my love for all black outfits and heavy metal music is partly me trying to shake this old image of being harmless. I'm not harmless. I'm generally benevolent... but I am not nice/harmless. all black outfits also just make me happy and metal is just good music... but I can't deny that there is that bit of actively defying the description other people put onto me... I sort of want to do a jacket like this but with heavy black denim. and the effect fabric/material underneath, cutouts in the denim with zigzag stitching for controlled freying.... oh, and I got to add... the fashion school I went to is in the very south of germany, where the german textile industry used to be. boss and mey still have their head quaters down there. and we fitted our base patterns to ourselves. I haven't used mine in ages though. I would have to update it. but I have about 5 blazers in a light grey wool tailored to me (back then) because I had to sow a blazer for my final test in about 24 hours pure sowing time... so we all practised sowing that final blazer... the "IHK" (Industrie und Handelskammer = chamber of industry and trade) that officially tested me for my degree... is not to be trifled with. and curve klipping really gets ingrained into your very being very fast. and seam pressing!

Loved your dose of philosophy. I'm still struggling with how I want to look versus how I want to feel, compounded by how I feel because of how I look. I love pretty things but rarely wear them because they usually bother me in some way. I hate restrictive clothing, but I'm also weirdly shaped so I don't know if some of that comes from bad fit due to pretending off the rack clothing other than tshirts and men's cargo pants fit my body shape or just cause I've hit a time in my life wher I have no effs left to spare on what other people think of my looks, and I am comfortable enough in my own skin that I will go out in public looking like an advertisement for People of Walmart, I love my santa skull PJ pants and will wear them grocery shopping until it's time for sandals. When I spend time on a garment, I want to want to wear it. I don't want to dress sexy or alluring, my husband thinks I'm sexy no matter what I wear and I get taken more seriously doing what I do if I'm wearing cargo pans and workboots with paint on them. Today I wore a pretty skirt I made with a pretty shirt I made, I wear the shirt all the time because it's comfortable and I'm just getting used to where I want a waistband on a light skirt to actually be (because my measurements lie, I seem to get two results - crawling up my ribcage, or sliding off my hips, I'm hoping to find that happy medium).

This was a fun project to watch! I work with leather (and recently got a 48k to try machine sewing leather) and I think you did well with the leather! For attaching leather panels before sewing, I tend to use 1/8 in double stick tape. It's wicked strong and doesn't have to dry. Also, any alcohol based marker should be fine for the edges (since most leather dyes are alcohol based).
