I just ordered a dark blue velvet blazer similar in cut and am excited for when it arrives. I would love it if I could sew my own clothes! Can't wait to see the rest of the capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-diy-burgundy-blazer-posting-as-promised#post-1863396 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 02:18:44 +0000 JP 1863396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, thank you ladies! I'm glad I have the YLF love (and approval :))&nbsp;<br />Cardiff girl, I laughed at your 'cartwheels' comment thank you!&nbsp;<br />La Pedestrienne, Yes, I agree&nbsp; - that's totally my style! my only issue is that I rarely get the opportunity to wear casual styles. I work in a super conservative industry.<br />Runcarla, I like the idea of a fun lining, but I used a plain one because I couldn't find anything fun with the right weight. Maybe on my next jacket :)<br />I finished my top and just cut my pants- the capsule is coming together and it's still not cold enough to wear these pieces.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-diy-burgundy-blazer-posting-as-promised#post-1860763 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 13:53:44 +0000 RobinF 1860763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made that?

I'm looking forward to seeing the whole outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-diy-burgundy-blazer-posting-as-promised#post-1860633 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 22:17:57 +0000 LaPed 1860633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am IMPRESSED! (Also, I'd wear the blazer with the Chucks in a heartbeat, but I bet the Chucks look swell with that silky bomber too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-diy-burgundy-blazer-posting-as-promised#post-1860631 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 22:15:29 +0000 Cardiff girl 1860631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do I think?!I think that you are a fantastic seamstress!That jacket is awesome!It looks like an expensive shop bought jacket.The details are lovely,I especially like the pocket flaps and the colour is gorgeous.I can sew a little and would be turning cartwheels if I had made something as classy as this.I can't wait to see the blouse and trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-diy-burgundy-blazer-posting-as-promised#post-1860628 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 22:04:04 +0000 JP 1860628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As promised in my post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-pants">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....r-of-pants</a> here are the pictures of the finished DIY blazer. [Thanks everyone for helping me choose the pants!]&nbsp; I was waiting to complete my pants and the blouse to post this, but Angie's today's post inspired me to share this so I could link it.&nbsp; <br />I couldn't capture the correct color of my blazer, as you see it looks different in every photo, but it is a deep burgundy on the cool side, not brownish.&nbsp; It has a lot of details and took me a while to complete it, but I love the end result.&nbsp; So, my Burgundy Capsule came about organically around this jacket.&nbsp; I already had most of the items - and I added a couple of sweaters (striped and the ivory) and bought the Chuck Taylor hi-tops, but I may return them.&nbsp; I am not sure if I'll wear those sneakers.&nbsp; I think I'll buy a pair of burgundy pointy toe flats instead.&nbsp; That will be more useful for my lifestyle.&nbsp; Also, in progress are the blouse and the trousers.&nbsp; I'm using the check fabric for those trousers and I'll post the pictures when I finish sewing.&nbsp; The blouse is almost done, I just need to attach the sleeves and hem.&nbsp; Inspired by Angie's post, i will purchase a belt like hers and the WHBM jeans.&nbsp; I have lots of accessories &amp; other items for this capsule, but I didn't have time to take pictures.&nbsp; What do you think? </p>
