And sew it goes

[mala_14]

Plugging away slowly, but surely, at my plum wool jacket. I made several small alterations to the pattern, like shortening the bodice pieces and sleeves, and taking out a fair amount from the bust. All the wool is cut out now, most of it waiting for tailor's tacks (which I'm doing today). The bodice is together with all its myriad of darts. The fit is almost perfect. It's a tiny bit snug for a jacket, not much ease, but it looks really sleek. There's a little bit of wrinkling at the side bust that I can't quite get rid of, but it sort of goes away when I tug the jacket down. My mom thinks I should have shortened it a little bit at the bust line. I think it may also be the fabric I'm using. It's a bit thick and heavy, probably not ideal for this pattern. It's nice and warm though. I'm currently wearing it pinned on as a vest. ;p I wish my camera was working. That's all for now. I should probably work at it more and talk about it less.
