motorharpIn April, I cut up a bunch of clothes and made news clothes. One of the things that resulted was a haori from the Wiksten pattern. I had to do a bunch of piecing and I drew lines where some of the piecing happened.
The seams are the same on both sides, I just drew one side.
The dark blue linen used to be an SCA garment similar to this tunic, without the front gore. It was a really wonderful way to use up an entire amount of yardage. However, I wore it once, and regretted not wearing it again. The haori is another way to efficiently use fabric.
The collar is silk dupioni from my stash that I also had to piece.
The inside (which you can wear on the outside - this is reversible jacket) was the lining for a robe that I also never wore. I didn't have to piece that as much.
I always have problems with fusible interfacing. I've never not had it bubble. The smaller collar piece on the left is cut on a different grain than the rest, and the interfacing seemed to do worse. ?
I wear this jacket so much!
