The third fabric I choose for the 3rd garment of this challenge is this tan/beige wool gabardine. I don't know why I bought this years ago because the colour is quite unflattering for my skin tone. The fabric comes in 3 pieces so it's not possible to make trousers with them. I think I will make a jacket with it. I have just used this sewing pattern for a
patchwork jacket (see here).
Since the colour of this fabric is unflattering on me, I'm thinking of making it more 'flattering' by adding some black to the jacket. Here are some inspirations I have collected on Pinterest:
It will take more time and work than the last 2 garments. Hopefully it will work out well!
The idea of adding the black trim is a really good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue! I am searching through my stash of trims to see if I have any suitable ones for this jacket.
DeleteGood idea - you could also make your own trim perhaps, or use zips?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Liz! I really need to look through my notions stash to see what I have!
