Et pourtant cette veste n’avait rien pour me plaire au d\u00e9part. C’est seulement lorsque j’ai vu la version matelass\u00e9e de Jolies bobines<\/a>\u00a0que j’ai re\u00e7u un coup. Je voulais absolument la faire, et cela tombait bien! En effet, cela fait un moment que je m’interroge sur l’utilisation du Wax, que je trouve un peu trop d\u00e9laiss\u00e9, mais pourtant ce tissu qualifi\u00e9 par certains de \u00ab\u00a0psych\u00e9d\u00e9lique\u00a0\u00bb peut apporter beaucoup de caract\u00e8re \u00e0 une tenue sobre. Des techniques utilis\u00e9es pour d’autre tissus telles que la technique du matelassage existent notamment en Afrique de l’ouest mais dans la confection de sacs et de trousses. Cependant on voit encore rarement l’utilisation de cette technique pour les v\u00eatements (est-ce \u00e0 cause de la chaleur?)<\/p>\n

Donc au lieu d’accumuler les questions, je me suis dit allez! Seul probl\u00e8me, j’aime beaucoup le Wax, mais je ne suis pas tr\u00e8s sure de la mani\u00e8re dont il me va au teint, \u00e0 l’allure. Toutefois une chose dont j’\u00e9tais bien sure, c’est que St\u00e9phanie elle, raffole vraiment de Wax. De plus, son anniversaire s’approchant… Bref, tous les feux \u00e9taient verts!<\/p>\n

Au sujet de la r\u00e9alisation: Patience=Matelassage. Toutes les techniques de matelassage sur lesquels je suis tomb\u00e9es recommandaient de matelasser le tissu en entier avant de couper les pi\u00e8ces, chose que je ne me voyais juste pas faire. J’ai donc d\u00e9cid\u00e9, de couper mes pi\u00e8ces (couper 1 tissu, 1 doublure, 1 molleton, et ce pour chaque pi\u00e8ce) puis de matelasser pi\u00e8ce par pi\u00e8ce avant de commencer l’assemblage des pi\u00e8ces.<\/p>\n

Pour ce mod\u00e8le, j’ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de faire le dos en une seule pi\u00e8ce (contrairement aux indications de Geraldine de RDC qui indique de couper 2 pi\u00e8ces), mais j’ai un souci avec le dos de la veste que je trouve un peu… bizarre. Sinon j’ai utilis\u00e9 un biais au niveau de l’encolure et des manches, parce que je trouve charmant que les lignes de matelassage soient aussi visibles \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur (comme vous pouvez le voir dans les images). Ce sont les seules modifications que j’ai apport\u00e9es. Toutefois, d’autres versions vont suivre, dont une version avec un passepoil rouge\/bordeau. A suivre…<\/p>\n

The pattern used here is the <\/span>Bernadette<\/span><\/a>\u00a0jacket pattern from\u00a0R\u00e9publique du Chiffon<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, this pattern did not attract me at all at the beginning. It is only when I saw the quilted version of <\/span>Jolies bobines<\/span><\/a> that bells started ringing in my head. I really wanted to make it and it was the right moment, especially as I was asking myself many questions regarding the usage of African fabrics. I truly believe that African fabrics have not been explored enough, especially as these fabrics can bring character to ones attire. I also think that techniques used for occidental fabrics such as quilting, have not been experimented enough on African prints. Quilting with African prints does exist especially in West African countries such as Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso, on items like bags and purses. However quilting for clothing seems to be inexistent (because of the heat??).<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, instead of accumulating many questions, I just told myself: \u201cLet\u2019s give it a try!\u201d. I like African fabrics, but I\u2019m not really sure of the way the fabric suits me. However, I am very sure that my friend Stephanie will be more than glad to own a new item in this fabric. In addition her birthday was near\u2026 so off I went!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the realization, Quilting=Patience. All quilting techniques I came across recommended to quilt the entire fabric before cutting out the different pieces. I told myself \u201csorry but I do not really picture myself doing this\u201d. I decided to just cut all pieces (cutting 3 times for one piece: 1 quilt, 1\u00a0main fabric, 1 lining), and quilt each piece, before sewing all pieces of the garment together.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this garment, I decided to cut the back on the fold (Geraldine -RDC recommends to sew the back in two pieces) I just have a problem with the back of the garment… It looks a little weird. I also used bias instead of piping as I wanted the quilt to also be seen on the inside of the jacket. But I totally agree that Piping turns out really nice on the outside. However no worries, different versions will follow, especially one that I have started to work on with a red\/wine piping.
