V8804 Jacket 2022 https://gm-v8804-2.blogspot.com/ V8991 project 2021 I remade this jacket using raw silk tweed bought at B&J Fabric in 2016.  The first project, in 2020, is at https://gm-v8991.blogspot.com/ . For the lining I started with China silk from Mood, then switched to silk crepe de chine from Mood.   I bought 6 different trims over the years until I finally found one I liked with this fabric.  The fabric is extremely  ravely, bumpy, and easily distorted.  After I started this I read about and will definitely try this if I tackle another fabric like this.   ProSHEER Elegance COUTURE Fusible Interfacing  V1831 project 2021 This cute little jacket was a stash-buster, using a loosely-woven silk houndstooth check I'd ordered from Mood years ago, and lining I had in stash.  I slightly modified the pattern by removing the band at the top of the pocket and adding a band around the cuff.   V8991 project 2020 https://gm-v8991.bl...
