Pilar is tackling the new school year... on velvet paws!

Your favorite women's jacket pattern is getting a back-to-school look

For the moment, the temperatures remain very summery but the evenings will gradually cool down and the opportunity to put on a pretty Pilar jacket will present itself! This pretty pattern was your mega favorite from the La Movida Fauvista collection . I made it in denim, in jacquard, I saw magnificent versions in gabardine but for the fall I really really wanted to sew myself a Pilar in velvet… Tadammm here is my new jacket and in white to make the summer light last.

Pilar is a jacket pattern that has more than one trick up its sleeve: the ideal length so your back isn't exposed when you sit down, a version with a pretty pleat in the back, lots of topstitching to contrast or not and the famous Maison Fauve signature: the sunray pleat on the shoulders. It's these little embellishments that will give a lot of character to the timeless piece that is the denim jacket, and the least we can say is that this short jacket pattern is not lacking in character.

I sewed my Pilar in the magnificent Atelier Brunette ribbed velvet (off white color) . They have a whole range of cotton velvet in really splendid colors (I have a Night color coupon to sew a Pilar for my mom who is patiently waiting for her turn). And I find that the pleats stand out well on this fabric. It is not difficult to sew as long as you respect the direction of the velvet when cutting and be careful when ironing so as not to shine it. The buttons are also from Atelier Brunette . I did not want jeans-style buttons for this version, I liked the idea of ​​giving it an elegant touch with these jewel-like buttons.

I slipped a pretty Paola top under my Pilar, sewn in purple broderie anglaise. The bold color contrasts nicely with the jacket, and paired with jeans, it's a perfect back-to-school outfit: I can still enjoy the sun in my pretty open back, and I slip it on over my jacket.

J’ai adoré coudre Pilar ce printemps, en gabardine rose.
Après avoir lu cet article, je vais le refaire, en version doublée cette fois ci, en velours côtelé couleur rust et doublure en viscose séraphine, de chez Atelier Brunette. J’ai hâte ! Merci pour cette bonne idée !

MERCI
de ce message qui me fait passer un moment de rêverie dans ma vie qui est un peu compliqué en ce moment (Je m’occupe de mes parents âgés et après le temps des enfants il y a celui des parents ….) et du coup pas vraiment de temps pour coudre…
A bientôt
