The next step is cutting out the excess fabric from behind the pleats. The book I'm using emphasizes that this is no place to screw up. One slip of the scissors is all it takes to make an unfixable mess. For me that means the most expensive wadder ever! Based on the way the [...]

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
MIA? Not really. Lost in the "muslin graveyard" is more like it. I'm working on a hack of Closetcase's #siennamakerjacket pattern. Clearly over complicating things, (but sometimes it's necessary, right.?). In spite of this mess, things are actually coming together. #mainelydad , #imakemyownclothes , #menwhosew , #siennamakerjacket , #allpartoftheprocess
So this arrived today! But, hey....you say this is a pattern for women??? Check out those style lines on the cropped version. A button back vent, be still my heart! Pockets everywhere, yes! Pockets on the sleeves, killing me! Yes, I'll hack the hell out of it, but I'm in love. Tomorrow I get to work #mainelymenswear , #menwhosew , #imakemyownclothes , #siennamakerjacket , #closetcasepatterns , #sewmaine
