I Hate It

My little cropped jacket has been a learning experience. I started by redesigning one of my Bernina My Label patterns. I experimented with drafting a three piece sleeve from a two piece sleeve. Then I stitched a muslin and finally this jacket. There are several things I will do better next time. I will still wear it, but not as proudly as I had hoped. I enjoyed sewing it. The fabrics are all stretch fabrics and my Pfaff IDT really came in handy. I have been sewing with my Pfaff Creative Vision for a year and a half and I have not used the embroidery arm yet. I am really looking forward to incorporating machine embroidery in my future creations. I'm a bit disappointed, but it's late and tomorrow I'll feel better I am sure. I really wanted this jacket to be perfect...

Here is a picture of the back of the Kay Unger dress I finished recently. I love the fit of this dress.  My husband took this picture before we left for work this morning.  I am still working on a cropped jacket to layer over the top.   The fabric is a delight to work with.  I do not usually sew with knit fabrics, but I am quickly learning to love sewing knits!  I can't wait to show you the little jacket!  Soon.....
