The Truth About My Blazer - Video

Overcoming Sewing Challenges: From Mood's Rosemary Blazer to Cashmerette's Auburn Blazer

Hey y'all, it's Jermice from 5:13 Designs! In this episode, I share my journey of transforming my sewing project inspired by breast cancer awareness, focusing on making an all-pink blazer. I discuss the challenges I've faced with Mood's Rosemary Blazer pattern and my decision to switch to Cashmerette's Auburn Blazer due to better fit for plus-size women. I talk about my process of hacking the Auburn Blazer pattern to include elements from the Rosemary Blazer, as well as tackling other sewing projects for my church and my husband's school. Join me in navigating these creative sewing endeavors and share your own challenges and projects in the comments!
