Did you spot Pikachu?!?
Well, I’ll be highly visible in the countryside, for sure!
I wanted a bright jacket, made of water-repellant fabric and with a quilted fabric as lining, for extra-warmth.

Since I had been extremely satisfied by the fabric for my Lagan coat, I turned to Active Fabrics for this new project. Comme pour mon manteau Lagan, j’ai trouvé mon bonheur chez Tissus Actifs. I chose 1075, as main fabric, and navy blue quilted fabric for lining. This website is amazing for active and outer-wear fabrics.
I knew what I wanted: a yellow jacket with navy blue hardware. Oh, my, was it tricky to find navy blue hardware. Nowhere in France did I find what I needed. Fortunately, this shop in Germany had grommets, metal snaps, drawstring, etc (and so much more…a real treasure trove!).

I also bought Wonder dots: these are strong interfacing pieces for reinforcing snap and grommet areas.
TIP: if you order this set of grommets, there’s no tool included. I use Varyo pliers so I needed this set* to get the little thingies to adapt my pliers to the 8 mm grommets.

Some parts of the jackets are interfaced…normaly. I did some testing about iron temperatures. Well, I didn’t melt my fabric ofrtunately, but once cold, the interfacings (either G710 or G780) were peeling. So, I didn’t fuse interfacing, but the Wonder Dots (those were prefctly fused at lwo temperature and stayed put).
