The Sew Different Biker Jacket Cardi - with added tardis

I realise its been a while since I have written a sewing blog.  I have been sewing, lots of sewing, but lots of other stuff has also been going on so I am behind on the writing.  I have been writing these posts in a linear fashion:  I made this then I made this and then I made this.  It is therefore very fitting that this blog post is a bit more timey-wimey as I have skipped to the now.

It was way back in April when I went along to the Sew Different Sewing Retreat, whilst I was there I bought quite a bit of fabric and also a couple of other Sew Different sewing patterns.
I bought some lovely blue material which I thought would be perfect to make the Biker Jacket Cardi from.  I also knew I had some rather special material at home that I wanted to use for the lining.
The pattern itself is very straightforward:  quick to cut out and quick to put together.  The pattern itself suggests part-lining the jacket but I decided I would fully line.
I was very pleased with the result, this is the first garment I have fully piped around the edges.  I did this carefully and I think I did a good job.
Yes it is exploding tardis lining - how cool is that!  It just had to be done.

and......

........because it is fully lined
it is also reversible so if I want I can go full Doctor-Who geek.

I might be happier with this then is reasonable.
