Here is a red corduroy jacket made by
Vogue pattern #8203. It is a good fit after I eliminated the front
and back waist darts. For the trim I used an Ikat jacket that I
purchased in a thrift store. I cut it apart then cut the stripes
apart and made the pointed strips. I put them on with a black
satin stitch sewing them together while I sewed them to the
jacket. I used a fabric glue to hold them in place while
stitching. The buttons came from the Ikat jacket also. I
find lots of fabric, buttons and zippers at thrift stores by purchasing
"oldies but goodies." I decided against any embroidery
or further embellishments because I like the look without anything else. |
