Vogue 2817 jacket

Unfortutately I did not get much sewing done in the past couple of days but I did finish the jacket from my Vogue 2817 wardrobe pattern. This is a super easy pattern. It just requires a lot of stitching. I just have the skirt and pants left to do out of black linen as well and then a couple of tops in different linen colors. I don't know now if I am still going to make another jacket from the same pattern in the silver foil linen fabric that I bought, because I don't know how much I am actually feeling the jacket. I am going to have to think about it for a little while, I don't know if I should use a different pattern instead. In the picture I paired the jacket with the top that I already made from the same pattern and a black linen embroidered skirt that I made last year. The skirt was my original inspiration for a linen wardrobe. I also paired the jacket with the black and white linen embroidered dress that I just made.

The Linen attraction continues

My linen attraction continues. I finished the second piece of my linen wardrobe from my Adri Vogue 2817 pattern. It's an asymmetrical loose fitting dress. One thing that I found out from this pattern is that you have to make sure that you tissue fit the pattern first because you can not really adjust the pattern after you cut it out. All of the seams are sewn down so if you cut it out too small you will be stuck.

Linen attraction

Back in December I started to develop a linen fixation. I have been buying yards and yards of linen to the point that I am almost stockpiling it. My thoughts were to construct a linen wardrobe for summer using the Adri Vogue 2817 pattern. So I am still going to go with my original thought. I am planning to make all views in black linen, which I have already cut out and then make an extra top in yellowish green, but I saw some silver foil linen at Joann's and I had to have it so I am going to make a top and jacket out of the silver fabric as well. This week instead of doing the remaining hand sewing work on my Vogue 8414 dress. I decided to start my linen wardrobe. So far I have only made the top which was pretty easy.
