Double Princess Seam? A Brocade Blazer

I came across a double princess dress illustration with pattern layout on Pinterest and thought of you. It was a side seam double princess line with the bottom seam an inverted v directly through the bust point (the dart was essentially a french dart turned into a princess), the other princess seam was more of a parallel style line, doesn’t look like it’s doing any shaping. Hopefully that description makes sense. Really excited to see what else you try, as now I want to give it a go(probably should attempt a single princess first mind).

I am bit behind in videos . Love love love the hair!

Wow! I think this project is one of my favourite things I’ve watched you make. The fabric is wonderful on you and the design details and fit, just absolutely stunning!!

Late to the party but your hair is fabulous <3

Please show the jacket again after finishing updates! Beautiful!🖤🖤🖤🥀

That brocade is giving me oxidized copper vibes

Your hair is so cute and fun! I hope you like it! Also, based on this suit, the next look book is going to be amazing. What a gorgeous fabric! The shoulder on this is great too.

No worries, just slow down and have fun. Don't worry about a thing. You could probably travel for free if you didn't mind staying with people you didn't know very well, like you fans/supporters. Not the safest either so maybe no. 💙 Have a Fantastic time on your trip to London!

OH! LLOOOOVVVEEEE THE HAIR!

This fabric is giving dystopian vibes with the bronze and blue/green. Stunning work! So incredibly appreciative that you're teaching us all how to make own wardrobes look designer without it costing our first born.

DAMN GIRL! AGAIN! YOU BLOW OUR MINDS! That's why we do Patreon, so we can watch PERFECTION! 🥰🫨🫶✌️

I second all these rave reviews. You are so much fun to watch. I'm lost a lot of the time but nevermind. I've still learned so much especially about sloper. You look gorgeous with new hair cut. Have a great and a safe trip!

I love this and how you are exploring new styles, fabrics and you seem to be enjoying yourself while doing it. That's what it's all about!

I'm absolutely loving this new artistic period you're exploring. 💜🖤💜 And the new hair and tattoo look amazing!

As you enter your 1980s space admiral phase.... Seriously, it's gorgeous.

The haircut is fab!!

I do too!

It looks amazing and I love the hair :)

Tailoring improvements: use facing for the front edge. https://blog.closetcorepatterns.com//wp-content/uploads/2019/11/BLOG-POST_-Sienna-Lining-1-smaller.jpg No edgestitching for jackets, it is all done by manipulating the seam while ironing. The lining is biger on the inside in some places to avoid pulling. Increases are: In the center back the back edge of the sleeve in armseye, the bottom of the sleeve in the armseye. in the hem of the whole jacket - here the lining has the same lenght as the outer fabric, but the turned up edge of the outer fabric is longer (just add more to your seam allowance on the outer fabric on the hem with patterning but seam with the usual seam allowance). so once you sew it with your usual seam allowance, the lining edge kind of hangs over the outer fabric edge and then goes back. Also, no darts in the lining, just tucks. Hope it helps.

Absolutely love your new hair cut.

You might have convinced me to do a pixie again!

I love the haircut. It’s sassy. I feel you regarding fabric shopping. Back in the day, I lived a few blocks from Vogue Fabrics main store. It was basically 5 storefronts joined together, so there was the main room, which also had the dollar tables and a remnant section to die for, then the silk room, then patterns, notions, and buttons, then sewing machines, then upholstery fabrics, then drapery fabrics. You could lose yourself for hours, and spend all the money. It was a favorite outing with my daughter, then a child. Alas, mail order has to suffice now.

Cute hair, it suits your black shirt and tattoos! The fabric reminded me of 3 things: ancient Chinese hand scrolls on silk (ones with a shimmery gold finish); the copper coloured dress Florence and the Machine wears in one of her videos; caramel sauce artistically drizzled atop a dessert. Yay for your trip and a classical music concert!

I love the jacket. I was happy to learn the technique for interfacing the brocade.

Beautiful fabrics! I am finishing up my bodice block pattern and looking forward to some experimenting too.

I am excited about your experiments with two princess seams over the bust. I have wondered how to do this since I have a large bust too.

Last winter I made myself a heavy coat, and I am overall very happy with how it came out - but I managed to put the buttons on the wrong side. I keep thinking about moving them, since I could just sew them over the current buttonholes and when it's done up no one would be able to see, but ... ugh. I lack a buttonholer for my machine so I'd have to do the new ones by hand.

I can't wait to hear more about London, hopefully soon!

Love the new ‘do!!

I wonder what books were added to the library of pattern drafting.

OMG! I adore this suit. It is beautiful. I love the design too. The stand collar and the angled lapels. And the peplum swoops. Just gorgeous. Thank you for demonstrating the double princess seams. I am learning so much from your work. Thanks for all you do.

What are the new drafting books you ordered?

That brocade is so pretty. I live the way the jacket turned out. Also your hair is gorgeous.

Love your hair x

Love the haircut! I too am going to be working on a double princess, as soon as I get back in the sewing room. I plan to do a cut and draw (Shingo Sato method) then draft a version with the bodice block I have, and then compare the two.

Awesome Deliciousness Indeed!

I love your hair like that 😍

I absolutely LOVE your pixie cut. You look so nice..... it gives you a sense of sophistication. With the suits you look lovely.

That jacket is fabulous and I LOVE your hair!

Congrats on the fresh ink!
