Finally got some sewing in today as the sun was a being a bit wishy-washy and not tempting me to the garden! So back to the Queen of Hearts jacket, there were lots of pieces (I only cut 2 the wrong way round, and one was only little) so I separated the colours on to my bookshelves so I wouldn't lose any.

(A collar facing still managed to disappear though! Luckily its the smallest piece so I just re-cut it.)
Lllllllllllots of progress pictures.............

| Front bodice |

| Back Bodice |
This looks very striking I think!
 |
| Collar |
The collar was quite fiddly, and the instructions were not particularly clear, it made it sound like you had to sew the facings on twice rather than the proper fabric. I chose to alternate every piece red and white in the end which I think has a lot of impact.

Just look at that lining up! That makes me so happy!

I also made the huge stand up Queen collar included in the pattern as I want it to be over the top and obvious that I am the queen of my birthday and not just a boring card :p Obviously none of it is lined yet but you can see the shape. I do have interfacing air bubble (see previous post) but it is not as obvious as I first thought. I should have interfaced the lining not the cheapy satin but ah well! I have started the jacket peplum but just chomped a big hole in it :S I do have a way to save it though!
