You are so good! Beautiful blazer and pants. The pink corduroy brought back to mind my first sewing attempt in the 1960s in a Home Ec class. I used red corduroy and my instructor made me rip out and reinsert the zipper 8 times! I just couldn’t get it right. It did not end well, with the corduroy fabric shredding and me in tears. Now I can laugh because she was only teaching me how to do it right, and I thought she was being very mean.
I love your blazer! I've had all the supplies to make a navy blue silk Blazer for many years but just haven't taken the leap to make it. After seeing your lovely Blazer it's made me want to get it made. Blazers are timeless.
Two lovely makes. Soon you will have forgotten the effort of making the blazer and just be able to enjoy it. The finish on the collar is outstanding - so crisp. The trousers do suit you. Being even smaller at 5'1" I have to think about proportions a lot, and would probably have to take a bit of the width out of those legs to avoid being swamped by fabric, but that's not a hard thing to do and I am now rather tempted to have a go.
Wow...hi Mel, your makes are always top notch...such beautiful lines on the blazer👌. It looks really good on you too, including your trousers 💕. It was interesting to see how you put the interfacing on too. It was well worth taking your time with everything with such brilliant results 😁👍💖😘
Ooooh I love your blazer! I have this on my make bucket list. I bought the video course a while go for the Jasika, so hopefully that will be easier than having to read the instructions, haha.
Hi Mel, so glad that you persevered, the blazer looks so great on you. Love the trousers as well. You are meticulous and I so enjoy your makes. Have a great day.
I am so glad you were able to finish your Jasika jacket. It looks fabulous. I love the idea of using the Cricut press for interfacings but, unfortunately, I can't afford one of those. It is on my wish list but I can't see it happening! I haven't started my jacket yet. I'm saving up money for the fabric. I suppose I could do my toile in the mean time.
Love the cords Mel Color is amazing and that jacket is beautiful! Can’t wait to see the silk kimono ! I wish I had your organization skills !! Simply beautiful 💕
Hi Mel. What stunning makes! Well worth the time and effort you put into them! They are both beautiful and look lovely on you. Your finishings are top notch. As always you are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I remember when the blazer pattern came out they said it was a more involved make which put me off as it seemed a lot of work, so well done in picking it back up and finishing it.
Absolutely love that blazer, good on you for persevering, also I really appreciate the tip about using your easypress for the interfacing, I will have to try that! 😊❤️
Your blazer is gorgeous. You will get years of wear out of that.
Thankyou I certainly will, I’m hoping version 2 doesn’t take me a year 😳💖
The blazer looks stunning and well worth your perseverance.I love your pink cords the colour and style look perfect on you.
So lovely Mel.... your attention to detail has really paid off. Fabulous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😘😊

The jacket looks great. Where do you get the fusible woven interfacing?
Such beautiful makes. Do you happen to know the weight of the linen that you used for the blazer?
Lovely linen jacket. Where did you buy the lining from please?
Love the blazer, where did you get the lining fabric from please, as I find lining fabric difficult to buy. Thank you 💕
Thankyou ☺️💖 the lining was from a remnant basket at Abakhans so unable to share a link unfortunately 😞
