August “Flip this Pattern”: Flipped Creation Four


Heidi, from Elegance and Elephants, is here to give you her “Flipped Creation”
for the Straight-Grain, Tinny Dress.
*******************************************************************************************
Choosing Straightgrain‘s Tinny pattern as my selection for ‘Flip this Pattern’ was easy.  What wasn’t as easy, was how to ‘flip’ a dress already so wonderfully designed with so many options already included with the pattern?  It quickly became clear to me that I needed to make it a different type of garment altogether, and ‘flip’ it front to back.  In the end, my Tinny dress, became a Tinny jacket…
Here are the changes I made to the Tinny Dress pattern:
  • Cut back bodice on fold
  • Cut 2 front bodices and increased width by 1.5 inches/4cm 
  • Cut Peter Pan Collar on the fold
  • Lengthened the sleeves
  • Shortened skirt, cut front skirt in 2
  • Added bodice and sleeve linings
  • French seams on skirt side seams
Fabric: Cotton Twill (outer fabric), Quilter’s Cotton (lining), Black Velvet (collar, cuffs)

Thank you so much for including me in this awesome series, Emily & Ashley!  And thank you, An, for such a great pattern!

*******************************************************
“Flip this Pattern” voting will begin tomorrow, August 23 and run through Sunday, August 25.
And, in the meantime, link up your “Flipped Pattern”
{there are only a few hours left….the linky party ends tonight at 11:00 PM CST}
and be inspired by others sewing along!

What a great jacket! Anja is looking so grown up too. Note to self: go buy some cute knee socks for my girl :)
I think the tinny lends so nicely to a jacket. This style and fabric combo is just great.

Wow!
What an adorable jacket! I love the tinny flare you add to the jacket – very feminine! (and your styling is flawless as usual)
Looks perfect on Anja – too cute with the knee socks and hair bow :-)
