As a last hurrah before things really heat up down under, I made a warm, winter outfit consisting of a jacket, jeans and long-sleeved top.
Oh, and meet Bubbles! He is a two year old toy poodle and we are looking after him for a month. This was my compromise to (temporarily) appease my nine year old, who wants a second dog. We don't even know the owners, they were strangers who advertised for a dog-sitter on the online classifieds. The things I agree to!
Anyway, back to the jacket. I found this remnant of fabric at Knitwit for $10 (usually $25.95/m). There was a metre, but it was unravelling a bit, hence the low price. It was described as 'an exclusive import from Italy...not a knit, not even a normal woven fabric but it has loads of Italian style; some would even say Missoni style.' I was sold. It is beautiful.
As recommended by Knitwit, I used dark interfacing to strengthen the delicate weave. This fabric is not machine washable, so we'll have to see how it goes. I have never been to a drycleaners, preferring to risk all in the washing machine!
I wanted a simple, boxy style to use up all the scrummy fabric and not have to worry about matching the pattern too much. I flicked through my Burdastyle magazines and chose jacket 122 from the February 2015 issue.

I had enough fabric for the back and fronts of the jacket, omitting the back vent and cutting the back on the fold. For the sleeves and collar I used some black wool remnants from Potters Textiles. The pattern is unlined, so I drafted a collar, front facing and lining to cover up that interfacing. The lining was silk dupion from the stash.
Pattern matching was impossible at the sides due to fabric restrictions, but I'm still very happy with this as a simple throw-on 'Missoni' jacket.
I'm just trying to decide if it needs a front button closure.
The next part of the outfit is the jeans. No prizes for guessing that I made my favourite Jamie jeans by Named Clothing yet again!
This time I used a medium blue denim with minimal stretch from Spotlight. I topstitched with bronzey yellow topstitching thread.
There's not much more to say about these jeans as I've said it all before. I love them and have worn them lots already.
The Knitwit remnant was a panel print and had two repeats. I placed the pattern in such a way that each front was cut from one panel repeat. The result was a replica of the whole panel right across the front with the centre front seamline being almost impossible to see. This is a bit difficult to describe, but if you've made this top you will get what I mean. Maybe!
I like the effect this gives with the print extending up the neckline. The other benefit was that the fabric was a bit sheer, so this pattern, with its double layer front, was perfect.
The clingy purple knit gives a great fit at the back.
What fab outfit! I did a double take when you said you made the jeans. They look absolutely store bought. I am going to check out that pattern right now.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a great outfit. I noticed that Burda pattern but had only thought about it with a quilted fabric - nice to see it done with the sweater knit.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous winter look just my style!

ReplyDeleteYou are sewing some really fabulous outfits Meg, lovely photo shoot too!
ReplyDeleteYou have created some fabulous garments here Megan. Love the way you have used the unusual fabrics and those jeans are perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces. I really love the tshirt fabric!
ReplyDeleteAt first look, I thought the coat was a vest which is a nice look.
ReplyDeleteI love your jacket, it's much nicer than Burda's version. The jeans are fabulous and the whole outfit is great.
ReplyDeleteEverything is really nice, I love the colors. The shirt is amazing. Just a wonderful use of a bold print, exactly the right amount of color. The way the center seam disappears in an irregular print is astonishing. I've carefully matched stripes across a seam and still hated the results but the bolder print really works. Also love the shade of denim.
ReplyDeletemarinir seo new to blogging I would say because my personal blog is just about a year old. But I have been a freelance writer for three years before I started my own blog and still a freelancer to this day so that makes it four years for me as a freelance writer. I know the many tricks about commenting in blogs and I get paid to crate accounts to make comments on blog sites of clients some of them are pretty up there in Google Pagerank.

It all looks lovely. I love the missoni style print and it works really well with the black to tone it down. Your jeans fit beautifully as does the tee. The whole outfit goes together really well. It would be perfect for the weather we have here this week. Dreaded winter just doesn't want to go away!
ReplyDeleteBubbles is a natural blog dog. What a shame the owners will want him back!!
ReplyDeleteNice selections of garments which fit you perfectly. I know what you mean about dry cleaning. Warm water is so much more ... trust-worthy!
