@[email protected] I finished the Devon jeans jacket from @freesewing! The pattern comes from @woutervw.

It's not without faults, you can see I've had to shorten the yoke significantly to fix the shoulder width, and I suspect measuring my height has also not gone completely well—it's a bit on the short side. But I still think it looks great.

@[email protected] More progress. Setting the sleeves was actually not that hard... But this was hard: realising the measuring had apparently gone wrong, and my shoulder-to-shoulder width was set to 50cm when it should've been 42cm 🥲

I had to shorten the yoke significantly. It's still a little bit too big, but we'll call that a relaxed fit.

All part of learning, but I am sad that this is now really not the "actual" pattern anymore.

More progress, I've now made one sleeve with a cuff! That was also a bit of a hassle. I've actually started a thread with feedback on the pattern on the Freesewing forums that's becoming a little bit meaty 🙈 https://forum.freesewing.eu/t/small-devon-issues/1080/9

I'm feeling a bit bad about that... A lot of it's probably just my inexperience.

The last step before adding buttons is the waistband, so it'll look less like a matador jacket soon.

@[email protected] I struggled with the collar... a lot. But it's in, and I've learned something. So that's good then. I only had to re-cut one collar part. 🙈

I also closed the side seams, so now it's starting to look like an actual jacket!

@[email protected] Exciting news! My #DevonJeansJacket from @freesewing now has functional pocketses! And the side parts are attached to the back part!

I'm starting to be able to see what the final thing is going to look like. I think the wool works swimmingly.

@dressdeveloper But... I don't know precisely, but doesn't something like that already exist on #FreeSewing? Perhaps you could use some of that? It's open source, after all.

For my most challenging sewing project yet, I'm making the Devon jeans jacket from @[email protected] (Mastodon users may wish to open the original post to see all pictures.)

It's going quite well, so far. I'm constructing it from two XXL pairs of jeans I picked up for cheap second hand, as well as some nice houndstooth wool I got from a second hand skirt. The first few days were spent cutting it all out and interfacing some of the wool, but now I'm finally actually sewing. I found some nice maroon jeans thread for the topstitching, to match the red in the houndstooth wool.

I decided to move everything out to the balcony to make use of the sunny weather we've been having. I'm considering going to a "modevakschool" for some extra sewing classes and it'd be nice to bring this to an open day to show my current level.

(Yes, as a classical singer, I of course have a Singer Melodie sewing machine.)

Oh, the website with these patterns: https://freesewing.eu

Fæbrik har veldig gode instruksjoner, men det hjelper ikke når Fæbbuksa bare kommer i standard-størrelser. Så nå har jeg sydd prøvebukse og konkludert at den ikke passa til meg, og at den heller ikke var noe jeg ville ta utgangspunkt i for videre tilpasninger. Dermed er vi tilbake til freesewing. Ny prøvebukse!

the blouse itself is pretty unspectacular so i might just generate a fitting one with #FreeSewing (i hope they have a basic blouse) and just take a few accoutrements from the #drcos pattern
