Cut the pattern! (Picture from Masustak Eguzkitan).

Unique Jacketera bueltatuz, ze eratako ehuna erabili, patroia aldatu ala ez aldatu... zalantzak izan ditut. Nire Izekorekin hitzegin ostean eta jostun hasiberrien intuizioa erabaliz  :-S  kar, kar, kar... Patroiaren piezak ebaki eta proba bat josi dut. Muslina egiteko ehuna ez neukanez Ikeako bat erabili dut. Hasieran ideia ona iruditu zitzaidan, baina gero ez dela batere ideia ona izan konturatu naiz.

Retalking about the jacket, what kind of fabric to use, change or not change the pattern... I had doubt before starting. After talking to my Aunt and after following my novice seamstress intuition  :-S   ha, ha, ha... I cut all the pieces and I sewed a muslin. I had not any fabric for the muslin, so I chose a Ikea´s fabric. First, I thought that it was a great idea, but then I realized that it was the wrong choice.

Oh man! Bad choice! (Picture from Masustak Eguzkitan).

Hawaiana itxura izatetik aparte, print handi horiek nire gorputza oraindik eta borobilagoa irudikatzen dute eta ehuna hain zurruna denez, ez du batere erori ona. Baina beno patroia nola josi behar den ikasteko balio izan dit eta hori oso garrantzitsua da.

This jacket is too Hawaiian. The big prints have made, that my body would seem more round than it is and the fabric is so stiff, it isn´t flattering. But after sewing the muslin, I understood better the pattern and this is the most important thing.

Ha, ha, ha! (Picture from Masustak Eguzkitan).

I love the back (Picture from Masustak Eguzkitan).

Probari argazkiak atera nizkionean ez neukan erropa askorik jantzia eta erabiliko dudan ehunaren lodiera Ikeako baino handiagoa denez, patroia apurtxo bat aldatzea pentsatu dut. Ai ene erabiliko dudan ehuna erakustea ahaztu zait! Hemen duzue argazkia.

When I was taking pics, I only wore a tank top, and the fabric I chose to the Unique Jacket is thicker than the Ikea´s fabric, so I´m going to change a little the pattern. Oh my god! I forgot to show you my fabric! You can check it in the picture below.

Chevron wool (Picture from Masustak Eguzkitan).

Gustoko duzue? Ingelesez Chevron esaten zaio marrazki honi, nik galburu itxura hartzen diodanez horrela deituko diot, "galburudun artile zuri beltza". Berokia egiteko ehun egokia deritzot eta negurako oso epela da, gainera erropa askorekin konbinatuko dudalakoan nago, kolorea eramangarria da eta. Artilea josten dudan lehenengo aldia denez, kezka eta irrikia sentitzen ditut aldi berean! Badakizue... hasiberrien ezjakintasuna! Kar, kar, kar!

Do you like it? It´s a chevron wool. I think that it is a perfect choice to sew a jacket, and I can combine this fabric with many clothes I have in my wardrobe, the colour is easy to wear. It will be the first time I will sew wool, I feel fear and excitement at the same time! You know...the folly of the novice seamstress! Ha, ha, ha!

Aurretik komentatu dudan bezalaxe, jakaren tamaina aldatzea egokiena izango zelakoan nengoen proba josi ostean, hori dela eta Paco Peraltaren tutoriala jarraituz, atzeko piezari tamaina aldatu nion, oso era errazean esplikatua dago eta pare bat minututan atzekaldeko piezaren patroia aldatua izan dut.

Like I explained you then, the best option will be to alter the back piece width. I followed the Paco Peralta´s tutorial to make the alteration, it´s very well explicated and in a couple of minutes I had my pattern piece changed.

You have to add a dart to increase the size (Picture from Masustak Eguzkitan).

Beno ba Unique Jacketa martxan dago, orain nire galburudun artile zuri beltza ebaki behar dut. Hurrengo egunetan berri gehiago, ondo izan!

So my Unique jacket is in progress, now I´m going to cut my black and white chevron wool. The following days I give you more information about the jacket, have a nice week!
