Am I right
in thinking that everyone who enjoy sewing clothes, there are one thing that
completely daunts you? Me, I have never dared to tailor a garment. I know the
theory, but I have never dared to try it. My wardrobe list, however, contains
several suits, jackets and coats and I have known for quite some time that I
really need to do something about my tailoring fear. Luckily for me I am not
alone in my longing for something tailored, so a couple of friends and I are
going to gang up together to help and support each other. Tomorrow we are going
to meet up for the first time.
My
immediate needs are a brown suit in silk noil, a grey suit in wool flannel and
a brown jacket for a sport suit. As the silk noil suit probably shouldn’t be
overly tailored and I don’t have any wool flannel yet, the sports jacket it is.
I also think it may be a good idea to start there and work up for a more fitted
jacket for the grey one. I have a pattern, a reproduction one from New VintageLady.
I have
fabric as well, dark brown wool with a discreet plaid pattern in thin off-white
lines. I need to make a mock up so I can get some fitting help tomorrow and I
also need to sit down and think through what I need more like lining, buttons,
interfacing, etc. I’m also going to read through New Vintage Lady’s own account
of making her pattern.
