Jacket

Now that I have finished my skirt I have decided to take on the challenge of making a jacket. One major change that I have noticed is in my ability to sew just a simple straight line. Keep in mind that the skirt was the first piece I have ever produced.

For the Jacket I started out with a pattern:

I then cut out my material according to my pattern:

Before doing any sewing, I had to iron on my interfacing:

After that, I serged on the appropriate sides of my cut out pieces. Serging is so scary for a novice like myself because it cuts the material as it serges the edges of your material shut. One bad move and you have to start all over:

Here is the finished collar...and now I am ready to start sewing all the pieces together. I will make sure to keep you guys updated as I complete more pieces of my jacket.
