{Burda Pattern Jacket - My Sewing Creation}

For the St. Patrick's Festival of course one has to wear some GREEN. This year I did wear my self sewn  jacket from a nice Italian cotton piqué from Het Stoffenhuis, B. Veldhuis in Venlo/Netherlands. For the design I used a German Burda pattern; my all time favorite for excellent fit. Jacket has a one-button closure and a lapel. My notions I always get from Britex Fabrics in San Francisco. Just click the hyperlink and yes, they also do ship.
This jacket was a lot easier to sew; no lining!
Worn with an Escada jeans and Escada sleeveless rayon top.

Color, style, proportion, fit and more! Sure I can help you restyle your existing wardrobe to create a fresh, new look that’s right for you. For that I will peruse your existing wardrobe and suggest ways to alter selected garments for a better, more flattering fit. I will also provide personal shopping advice, giving tips on shopping with thrift and quality in mind.
My feisty Tiggy-Tiger girl liked it too...
Is green also a color in your wardrobe?

  3. Bonjour Mariette. Well, you are one talented lady (not that I did not know that already ;-) Love the colors on this cheerful jacket. It fits you perfectly. As the French say: you, my dear, have a "ligne de jeune fille." Thanks again for your help over the weekend. Problem is not solved yet but I will continue pestering Blogger!

  15. Hi Mariette,
    Your jacket is beautiful and I love the cotton pique fabric. You are so pretty and look divine. Growing up my sister and I sewed and designed most of our dresses. She has continued to sew and makes all her suit jackets and so she always has the perfect fit for her body type. That is what I like the best about sewing our own clothes, is getting the "right fit". Your sewing talent is amazing.
    I have been to Britex many times for fabric. I made my daughters senior ball gown in a beautiful green silk I purchased from Britex. Britex is like a candy store you want to have one of everything.
    Have a sweet day, Elizabeth

  18. Hallo Mariette,

    ein klasse Kostüm und die Farben stehen Dir ausgezeichnet.

    Vielen Dank für Deinen lieben Kommentar :)! Aber sieben Sprachen! Da habe ich mich unnötig angestrengt ;) Dir etwas in Englisch zu sagen :). Welche Sprachen sprichst Du?

    Die Folgen des Tornados sind somit folgenschwer - wobei man immer sehen muss, dass man auf der anderen Seite doch Glück gehabt hat. Vielleicht machst Du ein Bild von dem Garten, wie ihr es nun gestaltet habt?

    Einen lieben Gruß von Senna

  19. Liebe Mariette,

  23. Dearest Mariette, your jacket looks marvelous, the fit , the colour - perfect!! What a gift to be able to create your own garments! ... Tiggy-Tiger looks quite happy in his mama's arms!!

    I happy to share that the temps have been around 25 - 28 Celsius here ... which is unheard of for this time of the year. But we are enjoying getting out in the gardens and getting a head start on the clean up after winter!! Wishing you both wonderful temps and sunny skies.. love and hugs, C (HHL)

  24. Hej, liebe Mariette, dein "self sewn jacket" ist WUNDERSCHÖN! Leider kann ich gar nicht nähen... das wäre praktisch, um meine Garderobe mit den perfekt passenden Stücken aufzupeppen.
    Ich selbst habe auch einige grüne Kleidungsstücke in meinem Schrank, denn die Farbe passt gut zu meinen grünlichen Augen, den herbstroten Haaren und meinem Sommersprossen-Teint. Leider finde ich nicht oft genug Kleidungsstücke im "richtigen" Grünton (der bei mir besser ins Gelbliche oder Bräunliche geht (und nicht ins Bläuliche). Dein Shirt, das du unter der Jacke trägst, wäre z.B. so ein "Idealpartner" für mich ;o)
    Und dein Kätzchen, das würde ebenfalls gut zu mir passen :o))
    Ich schicke dir liebste Frühlingsgrüße (und nachträgliche St-Patricks-Day-Grüße) aus Österreich!
    Herzlichst Traude
    ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

  29. Liebe Mariette,
    ich weiß garnicht, was ich mehr bewundern soll, dein selbst (perfekt) genähtes Jäckchen, deine tolle Figur oder den süßen Stubentiger. Du bist wirklich eine vielseitig talentierte Frau mit gutem Geschmack.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna

  30. Hi Mariette! what a surprise!!your green jacket is fantastic indeed and fits you perfectly.Nice and springful designs.... And you look so beautiful. Compliments.

  31. Liebe Mariette,
    figurmäßig kannst Du es auch mit mancher 20jährigen aufnehmen! Ich bin begeistert, wenn ich sehe, daß es auch in unserem Alter oder noch älter Frauen gibt, die etwas auf sich halten und nicht wahllos die Nahrungsmittel in sich reinschaufeln. Allerdings gibt es auch Stoffwechselstörungen, die so etwas bewirken können.
    Das Grün steht Dir ganz vorzüglich!

    Liebe Grüße
    Sara

  32. Ich lese gerade noch von Deiner Frage ... also ich glaube, Grün habe ich nicht im Kleiderschrank. Steht mir nicht so. Ich liebe Rot bei Kleidung oder auch mal Blau, die Hauptfarbe ist bei mir jedoch schon seit Jahren Schwarz, weil es mir vorzüglich steht. Das kombiniere ich gern mit Gold oder Silber, Weiss und eben Rottönen. Daran wird sich wohl auch nicht grundlegend etwas ändern. Schwarz ist für mich einfach praktisch, da es zu allem paßt und man nicht unnötig viel Klamotten braucht.
    Und es schaut immer gut aus.
    Reinweiss gibt es bei mir nur mal im Hochsommer, wenn es sehr heiss ist. Von zu bunt bin ich, was mich persönlich betrifft, kein allzu großer Freund.

    Das Tigerchen ist ja wunderschön! Hat es auch grüne Augen? :-)

    Alles Liebe nochmal
    Sara
