The fusing is complete (insert cheer here) and I have done a bit of sewing. Next up the decisions on the trim, I am going to use self-fabric trim, probably two layers. I thought I would do a bit of internet research first. I found a great article
Susan Khalje article on the Threads site. Also,
Lindsay T shows using the trim for a faux sleeve vent, might need to use that one.
Threads has an article November 2005 #121,
"Inside The Chanel Jacket" (this is just a link to the overview of the article).
Finally, the post has to have a picture, Chanel jacket, heavy fringe (NOTE- this is not my jacket but an actual Chanel jacket found on the web - credits under photo)

I am not making my fringe quite so thick and heavy.
Off to make fringe.

Sounds like you are having lots of fun with your Chanel jacket :-) I have been planning to make one for months now, and after I finish the buttonholes and buttons on the jacket living on my dressform, I think my Chanel will be next. Not sure if I will follow all the 'couture' steps tho..!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see your Chanel jacket, fringes and all. What fabric are you using?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the final.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have to catch up! Lori, you really have been on the move with your jacket!
