Burgundy Jacket
Mere Progress
I got it cut out! That's a lot of progress, huh? Right, not so much. At least it is a start. It has just been a couple of busy days here, but I'm thinking I'll have some time tomorrow to get sewing on this project. I'm actually in no big hurry, as my zippers won't be here until sometime next week anyway.
Here's the line drawing for the jacket, from Patrones #284, model #40:
I will be doing a few things differently. One, I am eliminating the pockets. They are a type of bellows pocket and I don't want the bulk. They also needed zippers, which I didn't order. I might do some sort of inseam pocket on the horizontal seam. I'll think about that tomorrow. Second, I am changing the sleeves. They will be straight, not flared and full length.
I hope to get a nice start on this jacket tomorrow, but we need to finish my daughter's block printing project tomorrow. We have all the stuff as you can see below, we just need to get it done!
Parting Shot: Not Enough. Obviously, two full food bowls was just not enough food for Wellie. He knocked down the food bin and was helping himself.

Oh, Wellie! Look what you got yourself into now! I hope that we will be able to see your daughter's finished project - it looks really neat.

That's gonna be a great jacket. I love the way you always change patterns to your own liking.
And your Wellie....well what can I say. I lóóóve him! He's everything a cat should be: naughty to the bone, but cute as hell!
Honestly, I laughed out loud when I saw that picture.
Your kitty's antics made me laugh out loud too. I'm being careful not to let my cat see this pic...don't want to give her any ideas. When she wants to be fed, she runs to the food bin, puts her paw on top and "dances." Our cat sitter says that Maple is just being helpful, and reminding us where the food is kept!
Did the other kitties find out what Wellie did and come to share the feast?
