Go Chanel or Go Home: And eventually everything went together
http://chaneljacket.blogspot.com/2010/05/and-eventually-everything-went-together.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. And eventually everything went together. I reported the stitching lines on the fabric with basting thread and on the lining with tailor's chalk and then I cut the fabric and the lining keeping large seam allowances. Then quilting the lining was easier than expected. I used a walking foot for this. Once the pieces were sewn together, the lining was sewn by hand, concealing the seam allowances. And finally the hem and the facing were hand sewn:. My jacket was almost finished:.

Go Chanel or Go Home: April 2010
http://chaneljacket.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 23, 2010. My jacket is finished. Ive worn it this afternoon. I can say it is very pleasant to wear and light as a feather. What I like best is the lining . And the functional sleeve vents and hand buttonholes. Saturday, April 17, 2010. And the pattern. Oh, the pattern! When it was time to choose the pattern I recalled I had seen a Chanel style pattern on Burda Magazine 10/2009 - 128. Then Burda Magazine 02/2010 was published and pattern 108. Simply called me from the pages of the magazine.

Go Chanel or Go Home: July 2011
http://chaneljacket.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 20, 2011. This is the reason why I haven't been sewing for over a year! Georgia was born on Christmas Day 2010. She is an absolute joy to have and a very placid, easy baby. The two on the left are for skirts, the white is an Italian shirting, the black is a spotted chiffon for a tie neck blouse and the blue is a stretch wool mix for a tailored jacket. I still need one more fabric for another top but I will decide on that later. Now I need to venture up into the loft for my patterns.

Go Chanel or Go Home: November 2009
http://chaneljacket.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Finished but only just begun. My jacket has been completed for some time now but I didn't want to post until I was reasonably satisfied with it. Now I love it. It hangs much better on my body than the dressform and the pockets are aligned. I'll post a picture of it on soon. Why just the beginning? I finished and haven't gotten around to doing all the detail photos, but if you've seen the inside of one Chanel jacket, you've seen them all, right? I couldn't have done this proj...

Go Chanel or Go Home: ~my chanel jacket - the beginning~
http://chaneljacket.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-chanel-jacket-beginning.html
Wednesday, August 4, 2010. My chanel jacket - the beginning. I'm Sherry and I've just begun my Chanel-style jacket, after having the fabric for a few months! I hope to share it with you here as well as on my sewing blog pattern scissors cloth. As you can see it is going to be a fairly standard shape, so I started from my existing jacket block with a princess line, which is a standard NZ size 10, and I graded it up to my measurements, which are a mish-mash of sizes between 10-14!
