My overlocker has arrived, but before I take it out the box I really need to finish the project I started last year, so I have been sewing a bit this weekend.
I enjoy putting the big pieces together, but now it is getting to the hand stitching phase, which is a ballache, plus I still need to do all the lining and attach the sleeves. This will take a while... probably another 20 hours work to go I think.
It looks untidy as it is linen, once finished and properly pressed it'll look sharper.
I think i'll modify the pattern after this one, as i'd have preferred a smaller lapel, and the jacket to be a bit longer in the body. Getting the sleeves attached will help with the proportions, but it will always have the 70's vibe to it!
