Again, I'm focusing on dressier pieces. Jeans & a t-shirt are my day to day at home wear, and though I do have hopes of branching out, I'm just not quite there yet.
I already have all the fabrics & patterns for these pieces. The pink skirt is in progress (along with a non-SWAP tweed skirt) and the geometric print top will be finished today. I love how it turned out. The jacket is my 'branching out' pattern. It's a woven, and will definitely need muslining (and likely alterations) prior to the actual construction. It also calls for shoulder pads, which is something I've never done.
I ordered a Brother 1034D serger yesterday & it should be arriving next week; I hope to whip out Vogue 1314 as it's maiden project.
I have that serger! I love it. It is great to have a tee or sweater in an hour with it. There was. Learning curve, but it is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAwesome plan! I have that serger as well, and I LOVE it!! I agree about the learning curve, I think I am still learning it, but my serger is the best gift I received next to my sewing machine. I hope you love yours too.
ReplyDeleteCount me in as being a proud member of the Brother 1034D club!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your SWAP plan! Can't wait to see them all done :)
I want a serger so bad. Maybe for my birthday!
ReplyDeleteI like the jacket. Shoulder pads are not so bad. Can't wait to see your finished garments.
