It's FEBRUARY, and my installment over at the Mood Sewing Network is LIVE!
With Musical Guest, Spirit Bird of Manhattan.
I'll sport it over here before Valentine's Day in a parade of coats... this is my third topper of the new year! What the what?! I've been catchstitching and quilting like a woman possessed!
(Oh yeah and thanks y'all for giving me the quilting disease. It's reaching plague proportions.)
But for now, fly on over to MSN if you'd like to see it on a human form. One which could not be sicker of gray skies and no fancy events. Maybe it's time for a quilted ball gown?
Such a fun little jacket - sure to chase the grey skies away!
ReplyDeletethankya debbie! i'm working on another jacket right now that has me thinking of you :)
DeleteOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhh! This is the mostest! I love your print matching like no bodys BIZZ NAZZ!

ReplyDeletethanks kate!
DeleteWhat awesome fabrics!
ReplyDeleteisn't it great? i was *this close* to throwing it around my neck and calling it done.
DeleteWhat an amazing blazer! I love both fabrics. Stunning as per usual :)
ReplyDeletethankya carlee! :)
DeleteI love it, from the lining to the stripes.
ReplyDeletethanks sharon! i'm stoked about the birds, i must say.
DeleteThat is really cute! I'm with you; I'm tired of winter. I'm ready to sew some breezy floral cottons.
ReplyDeleteI MEAN. every year, i think there must be a solution to the gray that is january/february. other than moving to florida.
DeleteACK! This may be on my list of top Marcy Makes Ever. It makes my eyeballs smize. It's just divinely made and then DA LINING!!! I'm about to start on the Cascade coat - do you think I could quilt the lining?
ReplyDeletewell thankya!! i think it would be super fun to quilt that lining-- it's fairly straight pieces, right? DO IT!!
DeleteI just love the blue sleeve head! Nice touch!
ReplyDeletehaha!!!! it's what i had (and also probably what i would have chosen if i'd had matching colors as well ;).
DeleteWhat a great jacket! I love all the stripey goodness - looks fantastic on you!
ReplyDeletethanks heather!
DeleteQuil-ted Ball-gown. Quil-ted Ball-gown, Quil-ted Ball-gown!!! OMG this is delicious!
ReplyDeleteSO CLOSE. i just made two "everyday" tops and i'm bored out of my skull.
DeleteAwesome! The bird lining is my favorite part, even if they are pigeons. ;)
ReplyDeletei have been informed they are rock doves! much better, no?
DeleteWell even if it doesn't chase the grey skies away, with that jacket you're wearing your own sun.
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
DeleteAwesome jacket! I love the fit, the lines and the internal bird fiesta. Jacket construction is on my shelf of skills I aspire to acquire (like saying no to baby sewing). I'm glad I'm not the only one who unpicks umpteen times for a millimetre. Sometimes I try to get my husband to affirm my militant perfectionism by waving it in front of his face and making him "see" the glaring imperfection. Responses are usually on a spectrum of confusion and general bewilderment.
ReplyDelete"internal bird fiesta." you are awesome. on the flip side, ruggy is quick to point out glaring imperfections before i see them. FUN!
Deletewow, inspiring as ever.
ReplyDeletethanks charlotte!
DeleteIt's beautiful and the lining is a lot of fun. You look gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethank you tomasa!! being indoors helped ;)
DeleteA quilted ball gown?? Actually, I'm certain that you could pull something like that off - dare you! *lol*
ReplyDeleteWOMAN!!! careful what you wish for ;)
