Celtic Dreams© Jacket Pattern
Romance Lives On...
Our Celtic Dreams semi-fitted
jacket pattern has graceful princess lines,
a peplum, and Celtic motifs on
the back, sleeves, and high-hip
line. The purple version has pin-tucks
running down the front sections and cross-hatch
pin tucks across the main back section. Sewing
Skill Level 3.
See when making it, I
knew the dye would float to the top of
the pin tucks and give a more dramatic
look; you dye your fabric after creating
the pin tucks. Books-on-Tape helped save
my sanity when working on all those the
pin tucks.
Now the second version is made from a
mid-weight denim. Instead of using bias
strips for the Celtic motifs, I used a
very wide satin-stitch with black rayon
thread. The difference between the two
versions is pretty amazing. Same pattern,
same pieces, and a completely different
look! The clasp on the denim version is
a release hook from the hardware store.
I do so love to play with my things...
