Pictures and an Award

Thanks to Trini for this award, I am so appreciative and she listed some incredible bloggers and their garments on her nominations.  She nominated me for my Cabi-Channel inspired jacket, which I wore today.

Here are a couple of pictures

I am passing this award to all my sewing friends, they are all so stylish (and inspiring). 

Trim for my Chanel-Style Jacket

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 articleSusan 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.
