Today’s workdesk finds me working on a puzzle.<\/p>\n

\"2012-01-18-woyww-004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How to fit all the pattern pieces for Burda 8292<\/a> onto the fabric available from this coat. (Yes, that is a two piece sleeve I’m trying to fit on a single piece sleeve. \u00a0It’s going to be tight, but I think I’ll make it.)<\/p>\n

\"purple-coat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love this purple boiled wool, but the two styles are not as similar as I thought.<\/p>\n

Two things are in my favor: the original coat is about six<\/strong> sizes too big, AND it had a sewn on self-fabric scarf. \u00a0That scarf, which always annoyed me when I wore the coat, is going to be the saving grace. \u00a0It will provide the fabric for the collar (which only makes sense since it was sewn on in place of a collar) and it will provide an extension for the sleeves, which were obviously made for someone with arms about 10 inches shorter than mine.<\/p>\n

So it looks like I’ll only have to buy a wee bit of lining fabric to add to the sleeve lining. \u00a0Actually, I should probably shop in my stash first. \u00a0“Scuse me for a sec.<\/p>\n

====goes off to rummage in the fabric cabinet====<\/p>\n

I’m back, and HA! \u00a0I found 1\/2 yard of\u00a0lavender\u00a0lining fabric that will be perfect tucked away inside the sleeve linings. \u00a0It will be our little secret. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll use some of that lavender lining for the pocketses as well.<\/p>\n

Oh, and are you wondering why I’m posting possibly the most boring photo ever? \u00a0One of my workdesk? \u00a0Well, there are those of us who find it fascinating to see what’s on the desks of other creative people. \u00a0And we do this every Wednesday. \u00a0Hence the name, What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday<\/a>. \u00a0Check it out, it really is a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

Happy Woyww and Happy Creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
