Making a 1930's Inspired Bolero Suit Set // Sewing Project Diary

Whew! This one sure took me a while! I'll blame it on there being two items to complete? Sure! I may be running behind, but I do really love how this 1930's inspired bolero jacket and side sweep skirt came out in the end. The pleats in the sleeves may have been a bit tedious to sew, but I adore the finished effect! Trying a full length video again this time, so here are some time stamps for those of you who want to jump back and reference one part or another: Drafting the Bolero- 5:40-29:00 Drafting the skirt - 20:00-41:00 Sewing the Bolero- 41:00-1:06 Sewing the Skirt- 1:06-1:25 Alphanumeric paper:http://atlaslevy.com/Guide-Marking_c_256.html Mood Fabrics: https://www.moodfabrics.com/ Patternmaking For Fashion Design by Helen Joseph Armstrong : https://www.amazon.com/Patternmaking-Fashion-Design-Joseph-Armstrong/dp/0135018765 More from me?
