Back to V8333 (Claire Shaeffer jacket)

*warning: picture heavy post* (I hope it comes out ok….)

So, I have not stopped working on V8333, the Claire Shaeffer jacket…I just haven’t been posting progress, etc. Well, I am at the stage where the muslin “fits” and it was time to thread trace the pattern pieces on the fashion fabric then cut (GASP!). So this is where I freaked out a bit…cutting into fashion fabric that I bought in Europe that cannot be found locally IF I make an error and/or need more. Lovely, huh? Well, this week..I cut. I have provided pictures to show you my progress and difficulty in seeing the yellow, yes, yellow marks on the fabric because I had to be oh so brilliant and choose PLAID! What the hell is wrong with me?! Couture sewing AND plaid? Of course the off white cotton basting thread our instructor gave us to use does not show up well enough so I am using Aurofil in Dayglo Orange. Yes, limited fabric (from England), plaid, can’t see yellow marks, and can’t use basting thread. Nice job, P, nice job.
