Welt Pocket fun

Well I'd like to say that the "welt pocket" was fun, but it really wasn't.  I always try to do some testers before actually cutting into fabric that I spent several weeks making.  

The pocket turned out.  There are some things I could have done differently but I didn't.  I always learn something.

I am finally done with this project and I am very happy with the outcome.

 

Seeing an end

 

Well, I'm finally seeing an end to this project.  I can't even count the hours I have spent sewing scraps of fabric together. Yesterday I cut out my pattern.  I do have to say it was a bit scary!

I'm very happy with what it looks like so far.  Still needs a belt and lining fabric.  It'll be a fun one to wear.

The latest of my fabric venture

 

Every day this week I have made a little more progress on this project.  Rearranging the squares of fabric in a manner, so that they flow.  And every time I add more fabric the flow changes.

All this is done with scraps of fabric that I have saved, for I don't know how many years?!?  I want to turn it into a Bathrobe.  Now I have to decide how or if I want to line it???  Stay tuned

First week of the New Year was good!  I feel like I've had a nice productive week.  I finished the week with doing a little stitching on my Jean Jacket.

Patching some holes and adding some interest.  I love taking Art outside the home.  Why not wear it?!?  I still have a number of holes to fix. I think both elbows need something and one on the shoulder.  

I leave this jacket hanging out in view, so I can see it on a daily basis.  That way I don't forget to work on it.
