Teaser
We did a "test" photo shoot today with me in the corset, and I only really like one picture out of the lot.
...playing with different effects.
I think I'm going to make another corset, because this one will be impractical to wear by itself. I had modified this pattern for better coverage and support on the top, and don't know why I didn't include that modification this time, but I'll still wear this corset underneath stuff or with other layers.

Mens Jacket; Burda Pattern Roundup
So I've been working on this really challenging sewing project lately, and I'm still far from being finished, but made a lot of progress with it this weekend. I'm making a mens blazer or suit jacket, single breasted, semi-fitted, partially lined, for the boyfriend. I've made jackets with lapels before, but they didn't turn out all that well, so I have been super-meticulous about making this one right. Lapels are really hard: they are usually several pieces, curved seams, and the dots must line up precisely, or it won't work.
I'm using this pattern, view B:
Burda 7918
I made some modifications to the pockets and I'm using my preferred finishing techniques, but otherwise am trying to follow it as designed/written. Have already put many hours over several days into it...and so now I think I've run out of steam and need a little break from it.
Quick Burda Pattern Roundup
Some other things that I made lately are just some comfortable everyday clothing for my own wardrobe.
Burda 7916 - a very easy t-shirt pattern with lots of variations
Burda 8316 - already made four garments from this one, two of each view, with some modifications. I used camo ripstop fabrics, and cotton canvas. Once you've mastered putting in zippers, pants are easy.
Burda 7678 - and I made view A in this one, very easy with the serger, and I'll prolly make a few more because I have lots of jersey knit in my stash.
