Pekka, ma version matelassée
Aujourd'hui, je souhaiterais partager avec vous ma version matelassée de la veste Pekka. Le modèle se prête aussi bien à une toile de chanvre qu'a un coton matelassé. La version 2 avec le col large et les manches retroussées s'adaptera mieux à ce type de tissus enveloppant que la version 1 qui est plus épurée.
Elle est très confortable et je l'apprécie beaucoup au printemps. Le tissu vient de chez Merchant & Mills, une boutique anglaise. Le e-shop est fermé actuellement à cause du coronavirus mais je pense que les livraisons vont bientôt reprendre. J'ai presque envie de me refaire la même en gris anthracite mais ce serait de la gourmandise car je n'en n'ai pas l'utilité.
Pour cette version, j'ai doublé les poches avec le même tissu que la doublure (un coton bio nude d'une douceur incroyable de chez Siebenblau).
Sur ces photos, je la porte avec ma salopette Patsy, un modèle également issu de la collection Pépite.
The jacket is entirely lined, the lining is included in the pattern pieces.
Best wishes,
Raphaëlle
I also searched for the same fabric you have used here, and it is sold out everywhere and in every color, but I will wait for it to come back. I really want a quilted version of this jacket with that fabric :)
Thank you!!! You make beautiful clothes!
You don't have to quilt your fabric, you can also by some ready made quilted fabric. The green one from the photo shoot is from Merchant & Mills. This layered cotton has a jacquard weave that gives it a quilted look and feel.
If you want to quilt your own fabric, you'll have to quilt all the outside pattern pieces separately, then sew all the pieces together and then line the jacket.
I don't know any quilting tutorial but I'm sure you can find some good ones by googling " quilt tutorial" or "how to quilt fabric" etc... or you can also look for some already quilted fabric ;-)

How do you quilt the jacket? I
I am not sure if you must quilt the pieces before sewing them or quilting the jacket with the lining once it is already done?
Do you know some tutortial where I can follow the steps to learn how to quilt a jacket before startign to make this one?

You will love wearing it, it is sooooo cosy!
I had read the question Clémence had asked (and your answer too). That's why I asked her if she had done the calculations. I thought she may have since corresponding with you. :)
I can report that I am making size 56 in the Pekka jacket and required 3.2 metres of 120cm wide fabric. I too am making it from the Merchant and Mills fabric in your sample above. I'm really looking forward to wearing it as it looks so cosy!
Thanks again for your reply and lovely pattern.

Readytosew is a french sewing pattern compagny and european fabrics comes in a width of 140 cm, that is the reason why the fabric calculation is for this width.
Unfortunatly, I'm not able to provide this calculation for you since I don't have this information stored anywhere. Also, it totally depends on your size ;-)
Have a lovely day and happy sewing!

J'espère que cela ne vous dérange pas que je vous pose la question, mais avez-vous fait les calculs pour la largeur du tissu de 120 cm?
Mon motif imprimé met du temps à venir, il est donc difficile de faire les calculs manuellement, et je veux vraiment commander le tissu maintenant!
J'espère que vous comprendrez ma question. J'ai utilisé google translate de l'anglais vers le français!
Sincères amitiés,
Sue
Hello Clémence
I hope you don't mind me asking, but did you do the calculations for the fabric width of 120cm?
My printed pattern is taking a long time to, so it is difficult to do the calculations manually, and I really want to order the fabric now!
I hope you can understand my question. I used google translate from English to French!
Kind regards,
Sue
