Regrettably during the process I didn’t take too many process photos, this first jacket was such a learning experience for me and there are so many things I would do differently. I’m hoping to make another one soon with some improvements but for now the few of you that may want to attempt this on your own I’ll offer some tips and ways to approach.
Remember that jacket I posted back in October of last year? I’m guessing if you’re seeing this post you can see that I’m wearing it (finally!!!) Lol. I also have good news since I had gotten so many inquiries about people wanting one of their own. I finally found more of the fabric and have enough to make a couple. I will be posting details at my online shop mob84.com and instagram (@missodessa) on when they are ready to sell and how much one will run you.
Scored a really nice color shifting fabric from a client ended up making a jacket & it came out so much better than I thought it would! It’s my first time making a puff jacket & it’s giving me that 90’s puff daddy, shiny man suit vibe. I’m looking for more of the fabric but so far have had zero luck finding the exact fabric. It’s not foiled dot spandex, its a solid foil and a really good quality. I do however think the foil will wear off after some wear, so this is more of a special occasions jacket than it would be an everyday one. As soon as I find more of this I might do a small run of coats I’ve gotten a lot of request since posting it on my IG story.
In this 3 part DIY sporty bikini swimwear project I am going to show you how to cut a pattern, dye your fabric and finally construct your swimsuit to recreate a popular swimsuit. the swimsuit ends up being seamless so you can use a two different colored fabrics on each side making it reversible. Below the videos you will find a materials list.
