If you've read my profile, you know that one of my interests is sewing. Well, I have to be honest, my obsession is sewing. It's my escape from realty at times. It allows my creative side to run free. For me it's not always about wearing the clothes ... it's more about the process of creating. I will get into that in a future post.
Over the weekend, I finally set up my new camera and sent my mom some pictures of two jackets that I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. Neither one is actually finished. But this is the closest that I've gotten to having a jacket that is wearable outside the house.
The Jacket is McCalls 5859

I made the wearable muslin out of some home dec material I picked up from JoAnns. I used a contrast orange denim twill for the facings and an off-white stretch poplin for the lining. It took a while to fit myself, but the jacket turned out pretty well.
One of the features I love the most are the little cap sleeves.
And of course ... I can't end a post without a picture of little bit ... asleep of the couch :).
