Sewing || another Wiksten jacket taught, another wiksten jacket done for me! Ha! A couple adjustments: took the seam allowance at 5/8" than a regular 3/8" because I just wanted a little more fitted size. I originally have my pattern traced at XS. I also narrowed the collar in half! Super happy with the results and so happy I used that lining! × Main Outer Fabric: Twill coating from Designer Fabrics on Queen St. in Parkdale. Lining: Unknown (probably Polyester) fabric from a tiny fabric/alterations shop in Manila, Philippines Sizing: XS, Length: Long × #rickracktextiles #rickrackstudio #rickrackmakes #cleverclasses #rickrackyyc #rickracktextilesworkshops #rickracktextilesclass #yycsewing #yycsews #calgarysews #calgarysewing #rickrackworkshops #calgarysewingworkshops #calgarysewingclasses #wiksten #wikstenjacket #sewbabysew #imadethis #stayinghome #makersgonnamake https://www.instagram.com/p/B97em5QArry/?igshid=rllxk44hy7dg

Reality Checks || so thankful for the time I had today...to just focus on something I had control over, my sewing project and helping others sew and interacting with ppl and friends (human connection). But...These colours, the sunshine, being with my son, my family, conversations with Raf on the phone, getting sloppy snow kisses from my pups and eating vanilla bean ice cream and watching the bachelor reruns after putting my boy to bed is all I needed. Find what makes your heart full right now and take care. The world is going through something that we can and can't control. The uncertainty is weird and a bit uneasy...I hope you are all well + keeping sane. I'm here, just msg me anytime XO https://www.instagram.com/p/B9yJ3BWgkzl/?igshid=dttd3u1v4rk9

Sewing || my newest #wikstenjacket made after my last workshop teaching it! It's the short version, size XS. I used a wool polyester outer fabric with atelier brunette rayon viscose - Posie green 😍 lining. The changes I made were the pockets and my collar is half the size of the original. I love it, it's so squishy. .
