Readers, I'm postponing the photo shoot for Victorian shirt #2 until next week. I desperately need a haircut which can't happen until the 27th. I know the post is really about the shirt, but looking the way I do, I'll want to crop my head out of every shot. Please bear with me. In the [...]

Reposting. Another great make by @carly.makesclothes with this crazy fabric. ❤️Stunning with the olive. Check out her feed for some serious twirl action! #metrotextiles, #sewistsofinstagram ,#whoelsehasthisfabric
Because I'm next to useless with IG stories.....here's the "cyber group photo shoot"! Three makers using the same fabric in their own way. Are there more out there? Kyle @vacuumingthelawn in her signature dress + shrug combination. ❤️ @oakfabrics in a Wiksten Haori combined with cozy flannel. ❤️ And my @closetcase.patterns Sienna Maker Jacket hack. Have you used this fabric? Know someone who has? Please share! #siennamakerjacket ,#mainelydad , #mainelymenswear ,#sewistsofinstagram, #onefabricthreeways, #oakfabrics , #vacuumingthelawn , #metrotextiles
The Sienna Maker Jacket in the wild. My version as outerwear, and why not! There are more details on the blog, so please check it out. Long story short.....get this pattern and make it your own. #mainelydad, #mainelymenswear, #imakemyownclothes, #menwhosew, #siennamakerjacket, #sewover50, #so50menswear, #so50men, #sewmaine, #metrotextiles
The new jacket gets its first outing. This is from a digital selfie screen somewhere on Broadway (10 Times Square, maybe ?). Sort of turns you into an impressionist moving painting. #mainelydad ,#siennamakerjacket ,#imakemyownclothes , #lookimapaintingbymonet
Some construction details of my #siennamakerjacket . I lined the pockets with some scrap material from my embarrassingly large scrap stash. I like a substantial collar on a coat. So I interfaced the undercollar with bias hair canvas, and the upper collar with a fusible from Fashion Sewing Supply. The quilted lining hangs free in the jacket and is finished at the hem with a Hong Kong finish. Thread chains at the side seams keep it from shifting too much. The sleeve tabs are copied from one of the coats in the Japanese men's coat book. I finished the back vent with more snaps and rivets. All that's left now is the photo shoot. #mainelydad , #mainelymenswear , #siennamakerjacket , #menwhosew , #imakemyownclothes

It's full steam ahead on my #siennamakerjacket hack. It's been unseasonably cold here, so this jacket is needed...like yesterday. Because I'm lining it for extra warmth, I've made it twice in a way. I'm pleased with the outside matching. Fabric is a crazy brushed doubleknit from @metrotextiles . The patch pockets close with antique brass snaps. The pocket corners are reinforced with rivets. The lining is quilted with a welt pocket for my phone.
Lining is from @akfabricsny . Now it's a matter of sewing on the collar and putting one jacket inside the other. #mainelydad ,#mainelymenswear ,#siennamakerjacket , #menwhosew , #imakemyownclothes , #sewmaine
