Do you like to panic sew before a hard deadline, like getting on an airplane? I can’t think of a better reason to be extremely productive in the sewing room! 😅 Seriously though, we’ve all been there.
Well, this time it worked out. My Sienna Maker Jacket ended up being the perfect piece of outerwear for my recent family trip to Orange County, CA. Best-jacket-ever for the plane ride! SO many pockets for all my flying doodads: inner pocket for my phone, small one on top for my AirPods, big pockets down low for hand sanitizer, snacks, and everything else.
I even landed some nice compliments from a flight attendant when I boarded. She lamented, “You just can’t buy something as well-fitting and well-made as this anymore.” Ain’t that the truth!!
And the best part? Thanks to my Beatrice, I was able to fit and sew it in less than 3 days….with NO MUSLIN. (Even if you don’t have a Beatrice, these techniques can still work by tissue fitting on yourself.)
Here’s how I did it.
