Finally got the remaining two tunics done. My friend Janet suggested I add a cowl neck and it would have worked nicely but for the fact that I’d already cut these tunics out and didn’t have enough fabric to make a cowl neck scarf to wear with either. So crew necks I’ve got.
“Feathers” Flared Tunic #3
This is the same printed pattern as the second one I did, just in shades of black/grey/white. It’ll look good with a black turtleneck and pants.
“Grey” Flared Tunic #4
That’s it for garment sewing right now. I still have corduroy for a couple pairs of pants and I need to make another bedspread jacket for a friend but it’s back to quilting right now.
What’s s bedspread jacket??
a ‘bedspread jacket’ is a jacket made from a Kantha quilted bedspread like the blue/green one I made several months ago: https://jmncreativeendeavours.ca/2018/01/25/kantha-jacket/. I was inspired by the Kantha jackets I saw in San Francisco designed by Meiko Mintz: http://miekomintz.com/Shop-Kantha.htm Her jackets are simply gorgeous, if expensive. I was able to buy a Kantha bedspread for very little and I love wearing the jacket. I bought another spread to make a jacket for a friend of mine. I’ve washed it so the fabric is ready to be cut and sewn.
A whole new fall/winter wardrobe!
Yes and I took out the tunics I made last year which didn’t fall nicely across the back and which pilled badly. I took out two jackets as well. Gotta keep a lid on my wardrobe!
I agree with keeping a lid on it! I try to get rid of as much as I get, and preferably more.
