Week 29-1: The last battle



Finally, I started to make the last one, the Fire Feather Coat. I was looking forward to making it because it is another complicating items for me. It has 123 pieces of fabrics and I need to do pockets, zips, facing, fusing, lining, and ...padding feather.
And the challenge became much harder than I had expected.
First, the fabrics were much heavier and thicker than calico.
Second, Suede has nap, so I had to take extra time and fabrics for cutting patterns. (I used shinier direction to fit to the orange fabric.)
Third, yes, the feather became a nightmare.


I am not going to excuse but when I made samples, the feather did not come out from the clear organza so much. And I believe the organza is the finest organza in London. So I thought it would be fine.But it may be because the samples were smaller. Or, another reason, I might dye too much and broke feathers.  I have regretted so much already. (It is very rare when I regret about something)


The last battle starts from here.
