I made my decision. I have one more couture garment in me before 2010 is done. Paco’s jacket it is! I bought the pattern as soon as he started selling it. Tany made the most stunning version of it! Mine is going to take it in a different direction. Where hers is all leather and edgy, I’m making it from this (sold out, sorry) silk taffeta from Gorgeous Fabrics
I’m tracing the pattern now and I’ll make a muslin this weekend. More as it progresses…
Happy sewing!
ahhh … great. I love this fabric. I have also completed a version in plum-colored silk dupion. I hope tomorrow, put the post in my blog. I have yet to take pictures.
Great! I cut out my muslin but my machine is in the shop. Mine will go in a direction different from Tany’s and yours…isn’t fun?
I can’t wait! I love the fabric that you’re using!
I’m wearing my Burda 50s dress today and the prints are reminiscent of each other.
