EN Summary: After turning in, basting and pressing the edge allowances (as shown in the above photo) I proceeded with stitching in the hooks&eyes and then the facings, which are fell-stitched around the edges. Keep reading to find out all the details. --- PT Sumário: Depois de alinhavar as orlas do casaco para dentro e assentá-las a ferro (como podem ver na foto acima), a jaqueta está pronta para coser os colchetes e aplicar as guarnições com gola superior seguida, tarefa efetuada com pontos invisíveis à mão. Continuem a ler para saberem todos os detalhes. EN: The hooks&eyes came from the U.S. (a gift from a dear sewing friend) and are larger and also different in shape (the eye is slanted, as you can see in the photo below). To figure out the hooks&eyes placement and spacing I started by placing a pair directly under the collar break point and another at bust points level. If I had used five hooks&eyes, the last one near the hem would be at a little more than an inch from the hem; I ended up using four pairs of hooks&eyes because I didn't like the jacket completely hooked down, --- PT: Os colchetes que usei foram-me enviados por uma amiga dos Estados Unidos e são diferentes dos que tenho visto aqui: são maiores e as argolas são inclinadas (como podem ver na foto abaixo). Para determinar a posição e o espaço entre colchetes comecei por colocar um par mesmo por baixo do ponto onde a gola vira e outro à altura da parte mais proeminente do busto. Com estes pontos de referência e mantendo o mesmo espaçamento, dava-me 5 pares ao longo da frente mas acabei por não colocar o último (ficava a 3cm da bainha) por não gostar de ver a jaqueta completamente apertada até baixo. EN: The all-in-one facing/upper collar has a seam at center back; I would have preferred not to have that seam showing but I had no choice with the shortage of fabric. After stitching this seam I was left with a continuous facing piece. The allowances were also basted under/pressed and the piece was pinned to the edges of the jacket and then fell-stitched along the same edges: --- PT: A peça seguida da guarnição e gola tem uma costura atrás no topo da gola; preferia não ter essa costura e ter cortado uma peça única, mas não tive alternativa pois o tecido não chegava. Depois de alinhavar as orlas da guarnição para o seu avesso e assentar a ferro, a guarnição foi cosida à mão com pontos invisíveis às orlas da jaqueta: EN: The hook&eye placement has a very clean finish because the stitches become covered by the facing (bellow there's the hook at collar's break point): --- PT: O acabamento dos colchetes fica impecável pois os pontos à mão que os seguram à jaqueta ficam escondidos pela guarnição (abaixo podem ver o colchete no inicio da dobra da gola): EN: Before I move on with hand-tacking the facing to the neckline seam and princess seam allowances, I must decide if I prefer the collar down or up (I need to account for the turn of the cloth, which will be different on each case). Visually on the dressform, I tend to prefer the collar standing up, but with the jacket on, the collar down feels more natural,... I am still divided between these two options and need to make upp my mind before proceeding. Happy Sewing and thank you all for visiting! --- PT: Antes de prosseguir segurando as orlas interiores da guarnição com pontos à mão na costura detrás da gola e nas costuras princesa da frente, tenho de decidir se vou usar a jaqueta com a gola levantada ou para baixo, uma vez que isso influencia a folga que se deixa a mais para a curva da gola. Visualmente no manequim, prefiro ver a gola levantada, mas com a jaqueta vestida pareceu-me mais "natural" usá-la virada para baixo,... Ainda estou dividida entre as duas opções e só poderei prosseguir depois de estabelecer a posição final da gola. Boas costuras para todos e até à proxima!
It's been 4 years since I made a jacket like this, so the details are slowly coming back to me. This one won't be "couture", but there's still a fair amount of hand-stitching with all the trim and buttons! I picked up 2 different trims at Joann's yesterday, not quite sure what combination would look best. Did I mention that I had 3 kids in tow, so I felt like I was on Project Runway... "Designers, you have 30 minutes before the children start screaming for Chicken Nuggets and French Fries and most trims will only have 3 yards available while you need 6. Ready? Go!" I found 2 that I really liked, and while I knew they worked together, I wasn't sure how to work in some fringed tweed and what combination would look best. So, once we got home, it was time to play... You can see both purchased trims in the top right corner, a ruffled chiffon and a flat embellished ribbon with a small black/silver chain bordered by a double line of beads. I tried a plain fringe, a bias fringe, and no fringe. The black on black was just too strong and stark, and the no fringe option was the opposite, just a little too quiet. The texture of the bias fringe stands out in a more "fun and young" way than the plain fringe of the top left, so that's the one I went with. I used my clear ruler with the 45 degree marking on it, and made bias strips 1" wide. I ran them through the machine with a double row of small straight stitches, then used my finger to fray the edges. I machine stitched the fringe on the top of each pocket, then hand-stitched the chained trim on top, folding the raw edges over each side. I'm afraid that I should've chosen a button with more black and less silver, but hindsight is 20/20. Time for more hand-stitching while I attach the pockets to the jacket fronts. I'm using Simplicity 2284 this time (I can't find my Vogue pattern from last time), view D with 3/4 sleeves and added trim at center front, neck, and hem. Lastly, I'm using silver silk charmeuse for the lining (see top pic), which is the first casualty according to "Murph's Law". Not Murphy's Law, but Murph's Law... "If you have a puppy that leaves various and numerous water puddles around his water bowl, your silk will get water spots when you go to refold it and it briefly touches the floor." I thought that I had cut around the marks, but I just noticed a spot at the bottom of one of my front lining pieces. It's faint and barely noticeable, and my own fault, I should've known better. We took him camping this weekend and were stopped no fewer than 1,000 times by kids and adults with requests to pet him, love on him, and comment on the size of his paws!

As I continue my sustainable holiday theme I wanted to include some DIY projects you can create with items you most likely have around the house. You know I love a good t-shirt refashion and wanted to design a versatile look that could be worn for a day out shopping or a special holiday occasion. I've been doing a lot of partnered posts lately so I was anxious to get into my sewing studio the other day and just randomly create something Trash to Couture style. I don't know how my mind thought of this but I've always loved the look of chains as an embellishment, very Coco Chanel. This can be no sew too and takes less than an hour. Get the details below on how to make your own Coco Cold Shoulder Tee just in time for the holidays. Supplies: t-shirt chain ribbon tailors chalk or marking tool scissors hot glue gun or thread/needle DIY Instructions: Get a t-shirt and lay it flat so the seams are even. Use tailors chalk and mark an oval shape going from the tip of the shoulder seam to about 1" out from the folded edge. Cut this outline and use as the template for the other side. Get a chain or any type of trim that measures the portion you cut out. Use ribbon to weave in and out of the chain and leave a tail on each end to tie into a bow to connect the ends of the sleeve. Hand sew weaving in and out of the chain to secure it into place. OR hot glue the chain trim into place but be sure to do small dabs so it doesn't show through.
