I finally started the seams on the back of the jacket... I was quite overwhelmed by the size and the number of patches. It is large not only because I am large but the pattern has a flared back... Now that I've actually got two seams on there I can get one or two done each day now... I guarantee I will not go unnoticed in this!!!!!
The bunny will be the first motif vignette to go on the front and it is ready to cut out to lower left front. I add the nose and additional fur as I applique it on. At this point you can still see the chain stitch outline... I can cut right up to the chain. It is that chain that is crucial in applying it. It anchors it and disappears as it is attached. I am anxious to actually see the first one go on.... Maybe tonite.
Looking forward to seeing this completed! Love the motifs that you've been working on for it! I must say that you've inspired me! I think I need to make a bunny vest for myself!

thim is going to be outstanding and look fabulous, as you say will also be noticed and I am sure you will be stopped continously when you wear it
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be so gorgeous. I hope you are having some fun with the bright colours. It reminds me of a parka I made for myself a few years ago. I found a bunch of melton cloth on sale for 75% off so I bought hot pink, burgundy, teal, dark purple and grey and made a patchwork coat. And matching hats in a couple of the colours. For sure I'd never get lost in a snowstorm in that coat.
ReplyDeleteThat will be one stunning and outstanding jacket! wow!
ReplyDeleteLove the bunny, too.
