Body Of The Jacket & A Nomination
With much of the pattern matching fiasco behind me, I was able to relax a bit and put together the body of the Boulevard Jacket. I don't have to tell you, I was extremely anxious to see how everything looked put together. I breathed a sigh of relief when I stepped back from the dress form and saw that things blended together fairly well.
There's still quite a bit left until this jacket is finished - namely the collar, facings (both for the body of the jacket and sleeves), and buttonholes. More on that soon!
Before I get back to sewing, I wanted to mention that Melissa nominated me for the Kreative Blogger Award! The rules for this award are:
1. Copy the award to your site - 2. Link to the person from whom you received the award - 3. Nominate 7 other bloggers - 4. Link to those on your blog - 5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominated.
Narrowing the talented (not to mention creative) bloggers out there to 7 was tough. If you would look at my feed reader, you would see over 250 sites that I read on a daily basis (yes, I spend almost as much time on the computer as what I do sewing!). But here's my nominations, in no particular order.
