Unlined Jacket

I finally finished my light jacket after almost a month working on it. This jacket supposed to be my entry to #sewyourwardrobebasics a sewing challenge on Instagram last month but I couldn't make it on time due to lack of sewing time and bad planning.
Anyway, better late than never and I'm glad to have this type of jacket in my wardrobe 😊

Jacket pattern: Budastyle unlined jacket 07/2008 size 38, I made full arm adjustment, skip the belt loops, finished the seam and hem allowances with Hongkong seams method and sewed the buttons and buttonholes.
For the fabric, I used a cotton blend from stash, bought two years ago during our trip to Tokyo and I made the bias tape from my dress that I don't wear anymore.
For the buttons, I reused my husband's suit buttons and glad they were matched.

The sewing progress was so slow but I enjoyed it. Started with sewing the front and back pieces, attached the bias tape (this method was taking a long time to finish).
And then involved a lot of basting, especially in the neckline, collar and front bodices. Too many works but the result was neat.

I managed to sew a t-shirt to wear with the jacket. Pattern based on Ottobre Design 07/2017, detail here and I used the leftover knit cotton fabric from my previous garment.
This t-shirt is my entry to #sewyourwardrobebasics April with theme 'Tops". I'm planning to make three tops, finished one and two are in the progress. I was brave to plan three tops because they are easy and fast to make 😊
I'll be posting the detail of the tops when they are done. 

Stay safe, stay well and happy sewing! 💗
