Embroidery Jacket for Miss Rodeo Jasper contest


I took a basic jacket pattern and a rayon/cotton gabardine fabric to make this jacket. Sew together the side and center seams of the front then do the same for the back, then place your designs on front and back. It helps to draw a dotted line to where your seam allowance will be so that you don't sew to close to where the seams will be. Cut out arm piece and draw where the seam will be and where you will hem the edge of sleeve, then put design on arm. You are ready to sew the jacket together and line the inside. Be careful of how heavy your design is for the fabric, if design is to heavy it could cause it to pucker and not lay pretty.
