Papercut Patterns Reversible Rigel Bomber Jacket

Just some photos and notes on the making of my Papercut Patterns Rigel Bomber made last year with speckled Robert Kaufman chambray on one side and Liberty Tresco Tana Lawn (green or C colour way) on the other! There's also some cotton wadding (for quilting) to make it warmer (and to make the print pop, … Continue reading Papercut Patterns Reversible Rigel Bomber Jacket →

Laparascopic incisions from cutest to least cute plus hospital milestones! Coming to after surgery, first sit up, first little walk. The last photo is from 3 days post surgery and is gnarly, don’t look if you’re queasy! At least i still have some semblance of a belly button. That incision is smaller than I initially thought! The tail end of 2019 involved surgery, resting at home and 2020 will involve a few more hospital visits! Due to family history of cancer I get routine colonoscopies, the last one I had at the end of October picked up a little adenocarcinoma tumour and confirmed I have Lynch syndrome, had a right hemicolectomy at the end of November! Surgery went well and recovery was uneventful, but histology showed that 1 of the 28 lymph nodes was involved, and met with the oncologist today who confirmed that I’ll be needing 3 months of adjuvant chemotherapy to begin in a few weeks! Happy new year to me 😂😂 Hopefully I’ll tolerate it well, am thankful it’s 3 months rather than the 6 months i anticipated! Thank God for early detection and for all the doctors and nurses (from hospital as well as doctor, nurse & healthcare professional friends & family who’ve answered all my silly questions), friends and family involved in my care! Bonus points for Kelvin who’s looked after me so well! Happy new year everyone! Hopefully the new year brings much health and happiness!

Rainbow moth buffet. Finally sorted out the pile of jumpers on the bedroom floor that’s been slowly pushing Kelvin to the edge of his wits..

Finally finished this #aldershirtdress for sister no.2. It’s been 90% complete, but it’s taken me months to sew the buttons on 😆 in Liberty Pavilion tana lawn! She loves my original pink lady McElroy Alder, hopefully she’ll get a lot of wear out of this too! This is my fourth Alder!

#kellyanorak double pockets part 2! Also, can you spot the inside welt pocket? For this you’ll have to get the #tostijacket pattern 🤪 but I love this double welt pocket! So easy and effective!

A couple of you have asked about the double pockets on my #kellyanorak , I had the good sense to take step by step photos while I did it! Part 1 here, part 2 next. I just cut a smaller piece of the main pocket piece so that it can sit directly in front of it when finished, then did mitred corners to reduce bulk. Bear in mind I’ve got the wrong pieces together in image 5, the finishing on the pocket opening of the outside piece should be hidden, not visible! Disclaimer, I haven’t once used the outer more secure pockets 😂 because anything that I didn’t want falling out or pickpocketed I put in my inside welt pocket, and it’s much more comfortable to put your hands in the pockets with the flaps out of the way! @closetcasepatterns has a flapped pocket extension on their website which I did use to figure this out, do check it out!

And my #v9075 collection!

My outerwear collection in chronological order! 1. Apr 2017 - Reversible #rigelbomber 2. Oct 2017 - #tostijacket 3. Nov 17 - #coatigansilvia 4. Sep 19 - #kellyanorak 5. Nov 19 - #rigelbomber x #tostijacket mishmash.. 2018 was a black hole 😂 I think in the future, I shall exclusively use liberty fabric for lining 😆

Just realised there is no evidence of my #kellyanorak on my feed! Was too lazy to make a toile so made a size 8 and graded to 10 at the hips (after my #coatigansilvia ended up too snug around the hips!)! Only other mods are the double layer outside pockets and a hidden welt one inside! Cord stop and brick sanded twill from @merchantandmills , prym hardware (highly recommended!), and of course @libertyfabrics Tresco lining in a softer colour way! Cord from some eBay store.. can’t remember where the zip is from!

Finally finished my winter jacket! This will be my last complex make of the year, only easy projects from now on! This has the bones of a @papercutpatterns #rigelbomber, the large hood, neckline and inner welt pocket of a @yuki_wafflepatterns #tostijacket, and a self drafted inner collar, with zipper facing techniques learnt from the #kellyanorak! Inter lined with thinsulate, hope this will keep me nice and warm! Pockets from an old cashmere sweater that didn’t survive a moth attack. The thinsulate adds a lot of bulk and stiffness to the jacket, I had to painstakingly trim down the seams twice! Also, you can’t iron thinsulate, it melts.. it meltssssss.... lined with @libertyfabrics faria flowers tana lawn!
