I Sewed!

 I finally decided I needed to sew something. It still took me a bit of time to get to it, then even after it was done, I didn't even get to wear it right away! 

It's New Look 6807. I had made it before, but apparently it's been awhile. I looked at the tracing I had made, and compared it to the actual pattern and it wasn't all that much different. So I just went back to the original pattern, and made, I think, a 14 in the shoulders and back and upper sleeves, and a 16 from the chest down. 

I don't seem to have a picture of it, but you can see it in this YouTube Short during Me Made May 2026:  https://youtube.com/shorts/6X2yBYAHlW0?si=iUPwHTPkkQ_usiqf  

I have a pair of pants cut out but I haven't gotten to sewing, because Megan had a somewhat unexpected trip home and asked me to mend her welding jacket.

I used some twill behind it and mended it. I also did some on the sleeves, and fixed the inside pocket. It's a pretty basic jacket. I was thinking I should make her one with a bit more shaping for a woman.

But now she wants me to make her a new welding cap when she comes home next weekend.
