Burda Style For people who sew
Description
After two entire years, I finally finished this pirate jacket for my boyfriend. It’s made in black silk velvet with a gold satin lining, functional buttonholes, tons of hidden pockets, an eternity of hand-sewn braid, and about 50 bronze buttons.
I finished it in time for our boatwarming pirate party last Saturday. You can read LOADS more about the traumatic process of making this jacket plus see lots more photos at: http://www.fehrtrade.com/gallery/57/the-pirate-yarrty
Material Notes

I know how hard this is – silk velvet is a real mess…but there is a needle board or a Your velva board that helps in pressing – it’s not as clean or pretty as normal pressing, but it helps. You did a superb job on the jacket. But I love your boat blog – would love to live on a boat…got a chuckle out of why you live on a boat – because it’s dreamy fun!!!

thanks! Benedikta – no, it’s our first party on our boat since we moved in at Easter. We had to rip out a ton of walls (the old hotel rooms) to create the dancefloor, and we’ll be building our lounge and bedrooms in there, so I don’t think we’d be able to have another party on quite that scale again. We had about 100 people, nearly all of which were in costume (and a handful were sewn, too!). Everyone made such the effort, it was brilliant. :)
our boat blog is at http://www.thanatopsic.org/hendrik/ if anyone’s curious.

That must have been SO much work… but it turned out great! I loved the story on your blog.

Hey, that is awesome. One lucky guy, your pirate boyfriend. Do you guys have that every year on your boat, a pirate party?
