PHOTO OF THE WEEK, Hand Tailored Jacket
This hand tailored jacket is my most ambitious project to date. I have been pretty much obsessed with it for the past 3 months. ja -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com |

Ja,
I am impressed beyond measure! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading through your weaving adventure. Apparently I love reading everyone else's endeavors as much as creating my own. How did you sew/finish the seams of the shirt, vest, coat?? I wasn't able to see Marilyn's hat, if you have sec will you post it as well?? Thank you so much for sharing this! Good luck with the shoes, keep us posted! Sonya |

WOW!,
I think you need more sheep to keep up with your ambitions. You are amazing. Either that, or just having the three keeps you in line. Whatever, can't even immagine making your own wood buttons too! And, your apparently your own spinning wheel .....and from the looks of things...EVERYTHING else around your place. Man, you are beyond words. Great job on the tailored jacket too, in case I forgot to mention. Joy On 13 Sep 2005 06:06:09 -0700, " wrote: This hand tailored jacket is my most ambitious project to date.

I think it's fabulous that you have the means to produce your own wool, weave the fabric, and then the patience to learn the tailoring skills to make a jacket. I made my DH a three piece suit several years ago, and I was fortunate to lay my hands on some excellent tailoring books, so I was able to do all the unseen hand work which really is so important to a superior end-result. Congratulations! Beverly http://home.comcast.net/~ickesb/wsb/index.html |

First of all, thanks ALL for the kind words of support. Unfortunately, I can't wear the jacket for a few months and then probably only in an igloo so I can't very well show it off. How did you sew/finish the seams of the shirt, vest, coat?? I guess just about every method known. The shirt and coat were mostly if not completely done by machine. The jacket was mostly hand stitched except for the major load bearing seams and those were done on my 1919 Singer just for fun. I wasn't able to see Marilyn's hat, if you have sec will you post it as well?? It is on the fiber page http://schmidling.com/fiber.htm There is a link to it on the POW page also. It is the penultimate picture on that page just before the jacket. Oops! You are right. I guess I forgot to upload it. It is there now. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com |

I can't imagine wearing trousers made from this fabric so I guess I will have to stick with jackets and coats. I would be interested in the titles of the books that you found the most helpful. Perhaps we could compare notes. I have Poulin, CTT, Hostek and a Singer book. They all have their use and their worts. I used the formula for drafting the pattern in Poulin, did the canvas per Hostek but could not have finished following either... too many unanswered questions and too much shop talk. The CTT book was clear enough to work my way to the end. Singer is mostly pretty pictures. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com |
