Currently not getting things completed since my sewing machine never recovered. Hopefully got at least one coming next week, maybe including a really robust one. But should at least be one that works.

I have been working on this jacket based on the Burda 2767 pattern. I haven't made Burda before this one and the pattern layout seems to be more complex than I'm used to. I think previous patterns I've made have been printed in English as about the sole language. That means there is more space on the page than Burda which has 3 languages sharing the page. It has been very difficult to look at what the finished product looks like since the cover picture is too dark for detail to show.
This is being made from 2 contrasting fabrics with the collar, side panels, pocket flaps and welt, underarm and yokes in one thing and the rest in another or vice versa.
It is taking me longer than I would have liked since it has all been handstitched up to  now. So looking forward to be able to get it machine stitched and the lining in.

I have also been trying to work on getting a jeans jacket made from Winifred Aldritch's pattern cutting book. I'm in the  middle of doing that. Just been doing up the initial jacket block and making a dummy based on that before I get into the jigsaw like cutting up of a copy of that block pattern into the panels that the jacket will be made of. Was hoping I'd get that done during this week I'm without a machine but my concentration is not fully on it. Maybe it has just been too summery for it.
