Here’s Caro posing again in the blazer I made for her birthday!<\/p>\n

The pattern for this blazer comes from Mes carnets de couture<\/em> – Dressing Chic<\/a> (Hachette ed.). I bought this book in October 2011 specifically for the blazer pattern on the cover, even before I knew how to sew clothes (believe in your dreams!!!). This blazer is simple and trendy, with its round collar and no buttons or ties. <\/p>\n

Fabric choice:<\/strong> One phrase: Wax is the new Max!! I think she wears this type of fabric very well. Since Wax is a light fabric, instead of reinforcing it with lining, I chose to use a slightly thicker lining than the fabric itself. Note that the fabric recommended in the book is wool, but hey… Let’s be crazy!!! <\/p>\n

The making:<\/strong> There were no major challenges. I used felt for the elbows, decorated with silver stitching. I was very motivated to make this blazer. <\/p>\n

~~~~~~<\/p>\n

The result:<\/strong> Pretty. There’s a different effect depending on whether it’s worn wrinkled or ironed. I’m currently using this pattern to make another blazer that’s both artistic and “sensible” for work. It will be made of wool and… LEATHER!!! Stay tuned, darlings! <\/p>\n

[ENGLISH]<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got this pattern from  Mes Carnets de Couture<\/em> \u2013 Dressing Chic<\/a> (Hachette ed.). The truth is that I bought this book only because of this blazer on the front page. At the time I bought it (October 2011), I did not know how to sew but I just believed in the THING! (Yes! do believe in your dreams!!!). This Blazer is simple and trendy, with its round collar, and the absence of buttons. <\/p>\n

About the fabric:<\/b> One sentence: Wax is the new Max!! This type of fabric really suits her. As this fabric was a little light, instead of using interfacing to give some body to the fabric, I preferred to use a slightly heavier fabric than the main one. Please note that the type of fabric recommended for this blazer is wool, But heyy come on guys!!!\u2026 Let\u2019s be crazy!!! <\/p>\n

About the realization :<\/strong> There was no big challenge. I used felt for the elbow area, sewed it on using a silver colored thread.  I was super excited to sew this blazer.<\/p>\n

~~~~~~<\/p>\n

The result:<\/b> Beautiful. There is a different effect between wearing the blazer ironed or \u201ccrampled\u201d.   I am actually using this same pattern to make a more artistic blazer for work, made out of wool and\u2026LEATHER!!! Stay tuned babes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
