The discussion's been up on Stitcher's Guild for about a month now... I want to holler, no, wait, I'm not done with my 2014 SWAP yet...I actually only got the Trench Coat and a couple of knit tops done. I *could* have done the rest of the knit tops on the plan, but I decided to work on the woven things...two shirts and the black denim jacket...and I didn't have TNT patterns for those.
So, amongst other things that needed sewing that weren't on the plan, I've been fiddling around trying to get some TNTs for those garments.
It took forever to actually decide which patterns were promising enough style-wise to put in the effort.
I picked a Palmer/Pletsch pattern for the shirts, and pulled out an old Neue Mode pattern for the jacket.
Took forEVER to get the patterns copied off.
I just cut the shirt out of some blue shirting that 's been in the stash for years. I think it came in a bundle from Michael...back when we lived in the old house. I made some preliminary adjustments to the shoulder and to the sleeve length, so hopefully even if it's not a dead perfect fit it will be at least as good as something I could buy off a rack someplace.
The jacket patterns... I have two traced off, one for a classic jacket and one for the denim...will be muslined before I cut into good stuff. I have no idea how the neue mode will fit; the line drawing shows some awfully low armsceyes but, as I do not have a TNT to go by, I can't really compare the pattern to anything to see if they really are as low as the artwork makes them appear.
But...it's the middle of October. Next year's SWAP will be up and running in a matter of weeks.
Maybe I'll put those three garments into the 2015 plan and just keep going...
