How many different ways are there to say, “Wow, I can’t believe it’s Wednesday again already”? \u00a0(And how does one properly punctuate the end of that sentence? Hmmm….)<\/p>\n

Why should it matter? \u00a0Well, that’s because it’s What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday<\/a>. \u00a0You can get all the details over at Julia’s<\/a>, but basically a bunch of\u00a0us “deskers” travel the world via computer every Wednesday to check out each other’s creative spaces. It’s kinda fun, and often inspiring. Join us if you have a few moments.<\/p>\n

My desk today shows I’ve gotten back to sewing after not doing any for quite some time. \u00a0I bought this absolutely yummy velvet with stitched ribbon flowers months ago.<\/p>\n

The sleeve pattern piece above looks all patched and mangled because I want the sleeve to be large enough to wear over layers. \u00a0I figured out the size by measuring the sleeve of my current favorite layering jacket.<\/p>\n

That’s really the best way to tell if you’ll like the fit of something. \u00a0Don’t measure the body, measure what fits.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The plan is to make the view B jacket, the pink one with all the flounces. I’m glad this fabric sat in my sewing room for a while before I cut into it, because it occurred to me that it might be a bit much<\/strong> to use this fancy fabric for every part of the jacket.<\/p>\n

I’m afraid of looking like a walking, rather overly-decorated wedding cake. Know what I mean? lol<\/p>\n

But which sections to use the fancy stuff in? \u00a0How much is too much?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"floral-jacket-plan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being a visual person, I came up with a visual solution. \u00a0I scanned the pattern sketch into my computer, put it in Photoshop, copied it multiple times and then painstakingly pasted floral squiggles into various sections. The solid sections will be just a plain black knit.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with the one on the top right. \u00a0I kinda like the one on the bottom right, but I spent too much on all that fancy fabric to only use it on the bodice. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Which one would you use?<\/p>\n

Whatever you’re doing this day, I hope you find some time to be creative!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
