For my last and final installment as a Made Sewing Network Blogger, I really wanted to go out with a bang. At the beginning of all of this my goal was to push myself and make some stand out pieces by drafting unique patterns for all of my looks.
Part of this collaboration meant I got to try out being a Mood Insider which I can say is such a convenience! I am able to get my orders delivered free and lightening fast but you also see additional discounts on sale items which was really nice. When I got my fabric from my first order I got a swatch of this gorgeous green taffeta. The quality was so amazing I was surprised it wasn’t silk. I kept that swatch on my inspo board because I had always been inspired by the Red Monochromatic suit Zendaya wore a few years ago.
So for this last look I decided to go for it. The focal point was the blazer which is my original pattern, it is separated at the elbow and features eyelets which ties them together.
I ordered 6 yards of this Polyester Green Taffeta and 2.5 yard of Emerald Green Polyester Organza. This was definitely a slow but fun process seeing my vision turn right before me.
I really customized this look including dyeing the eyelets to match and blend into the jacket.
In the end I achieved the exact monochromatic look I was going for!
I also had enough fabric left over to create some extra matching pieces. Keechii had an awesome DIY to recreate THE ROW Ascot inspired handbag which went perfect with my look. Check her blog to make your own, it can be found HERE
The last piece I made was this amazing corset which is so on trend right now. ItsSEWkool has a free pattern and Youtube video to create this piece the link to the pattern and video can be found HERE I love how this pattern just amplified the edginess of this look.
Did I also mention I custom dyed my shoes as well? Please let me know what you think!! I so enjoyed working on these projects as a Mood Sewing Network blogger and I hope you enjoyed viewing my pieces as well. I want to end by saying #thankyoumood!
