Finally finished sewing this bomber jacket after leaving it for weeks, or months? I can't even remember. So happy I got to use this pink fabric. Not really my color but I think I can pull it off?
The collar, cuff and bottom rib of a bomber jacket is supposed to be made of this stretchy ribbing material but because I had no idea where they're sold, I just used this leftover black fabric which I don't even know what it's called, and used it as the collar and the bottom ribbing and it worked out pretty well. The hem is not stretchy, I only gathered it so it would look as if it can strech but really, it can't. The cuffs, however, is stretchy and that is because I used socks. Yes, socks (brand new ones tho). I figured it was necessary for the cuff to be tight and stretchy because that what makes it a bomber jacket, so I had to find a way to make cuffs that look exactly like an actual bomber jacket. I searched on YouTube on how to make stretchy cuffs and I'm so gald I found it.
