Happy Sunday guys, hope you are all having a fun Sunday wherever you are.
It's another beautiful creative Sunday and as usual, I will be sharing my creative sewing process and project. Today's outfit is special because it's all about my sister, @treasuree, she will be plus 1 soon, on 24th May precisely, a big shout out to her. And she requested for a bomber jacket and jogger as one of her outfits for her birthday photo shoot. Bomber jacket, which is mostly referred to as streetwear in my environment are very fashionable, comfy, and stylish, and is a unisex outfit, meaning they can be worn by both male and female, I made this outfit for her, her husband, and children, wish I had all their pictures right now. But I couldn't wait for the professional pics before sharing. I'm that impatient lol😅
So, let us get right into the making process.
Materials used
- Ankara fabric
- lining fabric
- zipper
- jogger band
- Thread
- elastic
And of course my scissors, sewing machine, and tape rule.
PROCESS
As usual, every outfit starts with a pattern, I drafted the jacket pattern starting with the front pattern
- I added pockets to the front pattern
- I also drafted the back pattern
- The sleeves
- I replicated all these patterns using the lining fabric
- To prepare the sleeves, I added an elastic cuff using the jogger band and also sewed the sleeve lining neatly.
- I joined the front and back pattern, also sewed a band at the hem of the jacket, and added the zipper to the front.
- I joined the sleeves to the main bodice of the jacket.
- Next,
I sewed all the lining patterns together too, after which I used the joined-together lining part to turn the main ankara fabric.
Moving on to the trouser part, sadly I won't be going into much detail as it was already very late, so I couldn't capture many pictures, but here is the trouser pattern, I joined the front and back together, hemmed it, and added elastic also at the waist.
,Here is the final look, professional shoots are yet to be out, I'll probably add them here when they are.
