I absolutely love the result. The functional vent makes all the difference and gives the jacket a couture look. I do recommend this pattern.
Here are some close up views :
The buttonholes were hand sewn with Gütterman silk buttonhole twist.
Apart from the quilting, the lining was completely hand sewn with beeswaxed thread following Claire Shaeffer's very detailed pattern instructions. I chose a contrasting fabric for the facing.
Yesterday I just had to pin the sleeve to the jacket and put it on to see what it looked like. Wow I loved what I saw in the mirror. This sleeve pattern is very well drafted and has a unique line indeed. I am so impatient to finish this project.
Hopefuly my next post on this blog will show a picture of me modelling the jacket.
It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeletesooo pretty! can't wait to see the whole jacket.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I love the green/bluish trim and the contrasting facing you chose.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty jacket, it's a nice soft color pallette and the buttonholes look better than on the real Chanel jackets.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Love the colours.
