The next challenge I approached was making a tailored jacket. my starting point was with a commercial pattern, looked at how the jacket went together, the changed the collar, sleeves and altered the back panel’s.
Black Woven suiting, with a silk paisley print lining. the jacket has gathered sleeves with a big cuff. pleating detail on the back tied together with a belt.
During this project I learned how much we take clothes for granted. The cost of making a garment is so so expensive excluding labour costs. We can go onto the high street and buy a jacket/ Blazer for £25 that is so cheap! but when it comes to making one for your self it is so much more expensive, but you feel proud of what you have achieved.
