This week I sewed a jacket-
It is a wearable muslin to check a new pattern for size and fit. I used some inexpensive Ikea fabric that is a similar weight to the fabric I want to use. It fits great.
This is the jacket I hope to make, and the fabric (fabric I bought in Japan the first time I went), there isn't much fabric (I bought the end of a bolt), but there is just enough for that jacket.
The pattern is from this Japanese sewing book - a gift from my son when he went to Taiwan.
Books like this have different variations of a pattern, so for the jacket I made I used the sleeves from another version.

Poor old GingerSnap!! We don't know what happened, but yesterday he came in covered in mud from head to toe and had to have a bath - he handles baths surprisingly well (this wasn't the first one, and with the snow just starting to melt it probably won't be the last). That's the second tub of water.
All the best!♥︎
