Jacket with Full Lining Based on Bent Body Block

The full lining, my first one, was a bit of a challenge; the result, whilst not perfect, is quite satisfactory.

As per the design, I need to add 5 cm to the body length.

The fabric is a new old vintage linen bedsheet dyed with cheap Polish dye (cost of the dye: 2.5 euros…)

The bucket hat is one of my creation.

Very well done, it looks great!

I heard that tea can be used for dyeing, too. Not sure how well that works, or whether you can first make a batch for drinking and use the old tea for dyeing, though, but maybe it’ll not get cheaper than that, if you’re a tea drinker.
