Sewing has been real popular in our home lately and I wanted to share what Guys been working on..
Using the Green Pepper Pattern he made an anorak jacket in a few hours!
He has been wanting this pattern for awhile and finally bought it, along with some less expensive ripstop nylon from the local fabric store. This test run was necessary since he'll be ordering a waterproof, lighter ripstop nylon for the final cut. I've been trying to encourage him to add a great flannel lining.
On this jacket Guy used elastic on the wrists, velcro under his chin and a sport zipper on the chest.
I'll post photos of the final cut, with the front pocket, drawstrings and the whole nine yards.
We really recommend Green Pepper, Guy has used their patterns in the past to make vests and socks.
Using cardboard to trace your pattern onto can prolong the life of your patterns for the future; making templates is always a recommendation!
Stay tuned for photos of the final cut!
