...was to finish my patchwork jacket. At the beginning of the month I posted a photo of the fabric selection. Well, two heatwaves in four weeks have put pay to reaching my goal. The heat is sapping my energy! This is Northern Europe and largely air conditioning free. We can't install a unit because it's forbidden to alter the outside of the building.
After that moan about global warming and building restrictions, back to the patchwork jacket.
The white you see on the sides is the filling and inside of the jacket. It is made using the quilt-as-you-go technique. There is extra fabric all round just in case the size needs alteration, but the inside was cut to the right size.
The front panels are at the same stage as the back, and I still have to start on the sleeves. Once the patches are on the sleeves I can start assembling. and hopefully it will start looking like a jacket.
It seems that next month will see the same goal as this.
I'm linking this uncompleted goal to: Stories from the Sewing Room July One Monthly Goal Finish Link Up Click on the underlined section to see how more diligent quilters have made progress.
Sew happily
Marly.
