I just completed Vogue 8933. I made view A which is the short jacket. The pattern calls for contrast sleeves, but I used only one fabric for the jacket. I really like the style of this jacket and I find the length to be perfect when I have to drive while wearing it (I don’t care for long coats particularly in the car). I did change how the collar functions. what I mean by that is the pattern calls for hooks and eyes to close the collar around the neck. I actually did sew them on. Then, after I tried on the coat, I didn’t like how it looked, so I removed them. Now what I do is wrap the collar piece around my neck and snap the coat closed (that’s how it’s shown in the pictured). I like this look and feel much better.
Here is a close up of the fabric. It’s a wool herringbone that I bought at JoAnn’s. This jacket is quite warm!
Now, on to the next project!
Thank you!
fits perfect and I love the collar. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Denise, this is gorgeous. That fabric, THAT FABRIC. I have got to get a coat made. Very inspiring! Nice work!
Thanks!
Well done on the jacket. I like the dramatic collar and asymmetric front.
