I think this project is going to be really interesting! I have been researching Japanese style stitching for some time now. The book I bought is called 'The Book of Boro' by Susan Briscoe and is a very good beginners guide. The rabbit hole I fell down shared with this guy • "Reflow" No.18 Boro Ki... and carried on with many more links - you know how that happens with RU-vid! My ideas and thoughts for this garment change all the time and when I post about this agin I think you'll find I have changed my mind on many things!
In other news, I have seen a little flurry of new subscribers! If that is you - welcome! and if you have still not decided whether or not to subscribe - 40% of you according to my statistics - just do it! what's the worst that can happen! ha ha!

"A garment without pockets is a waste" I feel exactly the same. Pockets are so useful.

@damogranheart5521 2 года назад

I like pockets that you can close as I seem to be able to loose things out of them. Love inside pockets! A garment w/out pockets is Aggrevating!!!

You definitely have the makings for two jackets. A indigo jacket with a liberty scrap liner and a denim jacket with Indian block print liner. No wadding. The denim will be warmer then the indigo jacket. I’m sure they will work for 3 seasons of weather. Love all of what you do!

@discoteach 2 года назад

My husband sent me to help my stepdaughter buy some jeans. We found some that we thought were perfect, until she tried to put her hand in the pockets. They were fake! Astonished, she said, “Is that legal?!?” Your jacket will be fabulous. It’s such a treat when RU-vidrs let us in on your thinking.

@Carylanne927 2 года назад

OMG I am simply going to look forward to the progress you make on this lovely daily jacket. I haven't sewn any fashion for nearly 20 years, but I keep thinking it is time I make me something new. 24 years ago I made simple summer dresses for my then 2 and 6 yr gd. The 2 year olds' had so little material that I didn't have room for the two outer shirt pockets. Immediately when her mother gave her the dress and buttoned it up, Brittany cried. Kim ask asked her did she not like the pretty dress that Nana sent for her? Well, she said through teary 2 yrold speech that Meaghan's had poc pocs, OMG I made her pockets and sent them to my mother to sew onto the dress.

I love 💕 this tutorial!! I just found it today. March 19, 2024! Thank you so much for sharing your journey!!! Rabbit holes are my absolute favourite things. I have deconstructed many jeans over the last few years. I have saved most of the pocket fronts for quilt labels. They are hard to hand stitch down but they are so unique!!!! I must get back to scrolling to see how your jacket turned out!!!!

@fernstew 2 года назад

Ohmygoodness Kate...thank you for sharing this beautiful approach to recycling jeans and delightful fabrics. My pea brain is spinning.

@jillychandler 2 года назад

I love your coat of many colours! I think dye the cotton for the lining, as your strips of different fabrics are so lovely, and they would not be seen inside of course, so this would be a waste I feel? I love the design, how about making it reversable too? xxx

All those blues are so cooling and calming. Can't wait to see this come together! Don't hide that liberty away, wear it like a badge of honour!

Wow, that's great that you so all of your own clothes. But I have trouble getting mine to fit right and like Kate said a lot of times there's something about them that I don't like. I guess I'm too picky. I hope you get your heart's desire to have more time to play with fabric

@patriciahadley6250 2 года назад

A lovely project for Spring! It reminds me of the coat I made while pregnant ( in another lifetime ). It was roomy, rather shapeless, and completely comfortable. It wasn’t denim, but that would make a great 3-season version. I’ve been collecting old jeans. Didn’t know what I was going to do with them. This may be a come-a-long after all!

@alysonbuttonstone 2 года назад

I love this project so much! One cautionary note: I just watched a sashiko tutorial the other day, and the expert said that hand-dyed indigo is infamous for bleeding onto skin and/or clothing. Maybe there are ways to "set" the color so that won't happen....Can't wait to see this on you. In fact, it's totally "you" !!!!
