Things I like - things I can do well- things I want to improve! (Sewing)

I'm good at fly zippers

Killer at French and flat felled seams

I'm real good at t shirts

My elastic finishing is on point.

I prefer single welt pockets over double

I like slant pockets over in-seam

I want to get better at fitting

I guess I better make a dress or top sloper?

I want to get better at any other kind of zippers. Invisible for instance. 

I want to get better at choosing the right fabric for the job

I'm sure the list could go on, but that's a good start for tonight!

What are you good at? What are you working on?

FO: cookie blouson jacket by waffle patterns

Construction was a nightmare.

I chose the wrong ribbing; wish it were heftier (especially on the collar) and had stronger elastic recovery/ waist cinching. 

The lining rules. The tag is my personal favorite triumph. Those labels, in fact, were the priciest part of the project at $4.50. Everything else was free or pennies through swaps and salvage. Nice, right? 

Right. I love it and I feel fabulous and fashionable. So that rules.

Here's the pattern. I bought it in the sew indie bundle over the summer after stalking the pattern for a year or so.
