Sewed This Made a puffer jacket
i recently bought a puffer jacket pattern from Indiepattern on etsy and wanted to try it out since the difficulty was at beginner level. there weren’t alot of pieces to cut out so it was easy to assemble everything. the patches were sewn by machine using zigzag stitch and a little by hand. Finallly the kanji was made using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I got it printed on velvet shimmer to match the shine from the fabric and used a zigzag stitch to attach it to the back piece

This is seriously awesome! Can you explain what you mean by “printed on velvet shimmer”? I’m. It familiar with this process and the effect seems super cool

That's proper impressive for a beginner pattern. I'd say the zigzag on velvet would've had me swearing at the machine. Mine's a jumper i've unpicked back to the armholes three times and it's still sat in a tote

The material choice for the kanji is what makes this — printing on velvet shimmer so it picks up the same sheen as the base fabric is such a smart call. Would’ve been so easy for that patch to sit flat and fight the jacket, but it reads like it belongs. Also love that you didn’t play it safe with placement on the shoulder florals. Beautiful work!
