If you’ve been waiting for the bagged lining tutorial get pumped because it will be here on Monday morning! I had to share this mini blazer while I’m sorting through all the images though, it’s too much crazy to keep to myself. In order to make the tutorial clear I needed to get the entire blazer to fit into my camera frame without a cherry picker (which obviously wouldn’t fit in my studio anyway) so I scaled the pattern down to 60% and made this funny little sucker. It’s sort of hilarious but I think I love it. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here Monday to deliver the tutorial I’ve been promising for weeks!
okay. that’s like the cutest little blazer ever! haha. makes me a little curious to see if i could even fit into it
We had our neighbors over last night and played ‘who can fit their arm furthest through the sleeve.’ I totally won!
Ha ha! Eets so leetle!
Actually, it’s genius! I should consider making small versions of difficult projects to gain confidence without wasting fabric.
If you do, I recommend 60% that way the seam allowance is an even 3/8″. I learned that the sort of awkward way but at least caught it before I started cutting and luckily was able to reprint on the back of my 50% blazer printout. That thing is a LOT of pages!
I find this incredibly adorable! Love mini things – and a little mini girl would look so adorable in this paired with leggings and flats. Your tutorials are so great – keep it up
Thanks lady! Too bad I have no tiny girls to give it to, they are all too tiny
that is very cute.
oh my goodness you are incredible. I can’t believe you went through all the work of making a mini blazer for a tutorial! so impressed! Maybe save it for your oneday very stylish child?
Haha it wasn’t too hard/time consuming and the pockets are totally fake. Just sewed the flaps into the seam!
Love it. You could make maybe a 10-12 year old chic fashionista very very happy.
it’s so cute!!!!!
Super cute! Looks perfect for some awesome little person!
Thank you in advance for writing the tutorial!! I love your work. What are you going to do with the blazer now?
No idea! So far Luke is the most interested in it and has a little show and tell with everyone who comes through our apartment.
hahahaa, that is awesome! Sad I missed the show and tell…
Ohh the last photo is very funny!
I’ve done the same with a knitted jumper, just to be sure that It would be nice in a bigger size
Have a nice weekend!
Oh wow, that is so much more work than this, I am seriously impressed! Do you have any pictures of the little knit? I’ll bet it is so cute!
It’s so cute! Now I want to make mini clothes too!
It was really a lot more fun than I had expected… Mini Sewing for 2012!
How awesome! I could see lots of mini garments hanging on the wall in a sewing studio as decoration.
Ooh I like that idea too!
You should check out the artist Charles LeDray!

Awesome thanks, will do!
I LOVE liza jane’s idea! Or you could just make a mini-you, and all the kids on the playground would be tres jeally!
I would be jealous too, I don’t even own a blazer as nice as that tiny thing! Haha!
That is adorable. I want one in my size. I’m so excited about your tutorial! Thanks for putting it together.
Brilliant idea! And the cuteness of it…
I adore your sweater.
