At the sewing expos – I always keep my camera handy. I think sewing women dress great! There are always wonderful ideas to glean – sometimes from garments they have created, and sometimes from garments they sheepishly admit that they purchased!
This was a wonderful jacket made of a reversible knit. Note how it was exposing the lighter side as the pleated edge was attached.
AND the great thread-wrapped inset piping along the center fronts.
Note the added little ruffle inserted in the armhole top seam. I’m seeing this more and more lately – some emphasis on the cap of sleeves.
Center back seam shows exposed inside of this double-sided knit fabric by stitching it wrong sides together rather than right sides together. SEW simple!
A beautifully striking silk dupioni jacket by a sewer. She looked stunning! I believe she said it was a Vogue pattern.
