A double offering for #MeMadeMay - two makes from the past year! The Moss Jacket is made with Ikea fabric. It was the first time making this pattern, it's okay, but I need to adjust the shoulders and arms if I make it again. I am not in love with the bell sleeves but I really like the collar. The second jacket is made with #SecondHand denim and bias binding I made myself. It's from a discontinued pattern from Helen's Closet that I have modified with shortened sleeves. I have made a calf-length version of this pattern in teal corduroy (which I love!). On this one, I did enclosed seams on the yoke! They look so clean! Bias binding along the cuffs/bottom. I really like this! I have another jacket project in the pipeline but I would make this again in a lighter fabric as an alternative to a cardigan. I like a lot of space around my shoulders and this makes me happy. I also like shorter (bracelet) sleeves. I also love the collar although it was difficult to get right.

The Moss Jacket, version 1. Not bad for a first attempt at a new (to me) pattern. As toiles go, not bad! Lots of learning - first time doing a burrito roll - I love the enclosed yoke! Attaching the collar was not so smooth. I went with the enclosed seams version and I am glad this is a forgiving print. I would like a little more space in the armpit and a little less elsewhere. I'm not exactly the shape of the fit model. The versions I have seen online, the sleeves look straight and mine are bells! Are you all making modifications? Would love to hear them! I have some denim that I have planned to use for a short version of this but I would like to get better at it before I use that fabric so I expect another toile is in order!

Pup is helping cut out the fabric for the moss jacket. Who needs fabric weights when you have a pup!?

So helpful! So cute!

So, we've been really experiencing *winter* in #YEG but today is a balmy -2. I'm back to #sewing class and doing well with a repeat of the #MossJacket that I made a couple of years ago. I came home early from class yesterday because I couldn't access the PDF instructions on my iPad.
Getting lots of tips for my spring travel to #korea and I've officially got the time off from my p/t WFH job.
I finished watching #TheRedSleeve, a truly fabulous sageuk #kdrama.

#MeMadeMay continues. The same clothing items are in frequent rotation while I travel the PNW on a 4-week #roadtrip.
